Songwriting at March Creek State Park, Pennsylvania
LYRICS
Never been in this place before
So close to the edge
The outcome… unsure
Never been in this space before
So close to the judge
The vision a blur
What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence
The minds that shine will shine, shine, shine
But
Never been to this place
To history trace
The accumulation of the humanization blunders
Then… as one… wonders
What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence
Please… don’t wipe-out existence

Though it was unintended, the music ended up being inspired by the Kinks’ David Watts. The idea is kind-of like David Watts, too… I wish I could be like David Watts. I wish I could be smart enough… to get through to the people… that don’t care about other people. What the hell are we doing?
