Oh the summer is heating up
And I’m choking on my vomit
I’d love to be visited by aliens now
Or destroyed by a comet

But that would be too easy
And life is suffering
And anyway I suppose
You never know what a new day brings 

And I know I have it easier
Far easier than most
Socks for my bare feet
And butter for my toast

I wish I could stay grateful
I’m not sure I know how
I struggle to find it every day
But it’s gone just like a cloud

In the shiny summer blue sky
Overbearing like a man
Unchained from reality
In ways he doesn’t understand 

In dangerous ways that percolate
That’ll resonate once he’s gone
That’ll haunt us for a generation
if we last that long

Oh the summer is heating up
In this timeline that we broke
The future we face could have been
A terrible messed up joke

Jesus take the wheel now
And drive us off the cliff
We don’t deserve to see the end
Of this poorly written script

And I am just a messenger
With no words of my own
I spend my days staring down
Into a godforsaken phone

Screaming at myself 
And trying to deny
The fact that nothing matters
We’re all gonna die 

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
