lyrics
every day i wake up and i wonder who is
fixing wicked problems for us fragile humans
as long as i’m not late to work
and keep the creature comforts that i’ve earned
feeling bad is such a burden
i hope they fix that
oh, this city’s being built and deconstructed
winter’s always coming
have you seen the camps yet
underneath the interstate
underneath the highway
underneath the interstate
underneath us
there are gaps in the system
preexisting conditions
let’s burn it down and start all over again
i understand that there are things
that i will never understand
every day i wake up
every day i wake up
every day i wake up
every day i wake up

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up. Laura Brown
