about

after his first song, Narth said that he often thought a lot about the machine and what he could ask it. he'd wake up and go about his day, but in everything he'd do questions would arise that he could ask the machine. at first he would enjoy asking the machine questions to satisfy his curiosity. but after sometime he began to realise that with every answer the machine gave, more and more questions arose in his mind. eventually Narth despaired, struggling to understand his place in reality, as every question he asked the machine just led to another question, and then another, and then another, until he was struggling to keep afloat in a sea of uncertainty.

lyrics

the night come to an end
walking alone again
why can't I fit in
to
expectation
and where did I go wrong?
was it when I left home?
can't remember when
guess it happened sudden
now its all so hard
to understand
to eat the right things
and to fall asleep
and stop dwelling on regrets
theres a memory in my head
of a time when I used to smile
at strangers that I met

now I'm avoiding eye contact
I look down at my feet
as I tread on all the cracks
of the tiles of concrete
that will outlive you and me
as we're going out to have a drink
help to kill everything about me
til I'm feeling normal
I don't want to think
about anything
anything about me
what is feeling normal?

don't want to talk
don't want to speak
don't want to hear your voice
clean up my flat and make my bed
brushing my teeth
and I'm feeling normal
look into the mirror but
never in those eyes
I'm always killing time
share a cheap laugh with the tv in the morning
and I'm feeling normal
emptied out the drug draw
cut my hair
no I won't put up a fight
wear the right clothes
got a job thats paying my bills
and I'm feeling normal
every single thing I'd like
advertised
selling me my life
keep my finger on the pulse of the media
and I'm feeling normal
read an article
on my favourite website
it knows just what I like
algorithms learning all about my digital life
and I'm feeling normal
when was it I realised I never cry
never feel quite alright
but still the sun does shine
what is feeling normal?
am I feeling normal?
is this feeling normal?
guess I'm feeling normal
