about

-The character had just discovered their own first name and how they got lost, only to also realize they are missing their friend - and only known connection to the outside world.
-Another oldie, this is one of the first productions I ever made, let alone wrote to. It predates the first public appearance of Humbly G.

lyrics

I’m spread thin
What is it I’m supposed to do my friend, ohhh
I’m spread thin, ohhh
What is it I’m supposed to, supposed to do, supposed to do

Yeah, I’ve been at this for days, non-stop
For all of my efforts, yeah I can’t see a lot
I wanted what I couldn’t have
I got what I got,
I’m still breathing, great yeah
My body still ain’t stopped, and
Fate won’t let me escape,
It ain’t through with the plot,
I hoped I wasn’t a pessimist,
Can I go against reflex?
Maybe I should end this all quick and check
The surrounding water for any ripple effects
If I ever get past this never-ending sea
I swear I won’t care what’s next, no not me,
If they ask me how I’m living, I’ll say
I’m still trying to find me a rhythm
I’m working to make it but right now
I’m making it work, at my
Lows I try to focus on what it’s all worth
Each new brings on spiritual hurt
Is my future so hopeless with no past to refer

I’m spread thin
What is it I’m supposed to do my friend, ohhh
I’m spread thin, ohhh
What is it I’m supposed to, supposed to do, supposed to do

It feels like I’m doing great on everything but what’s in front of me
I’m doing great on everything but what’s in front of me
I don’t know what I can do differently, hashtag Humbly G
Guess I got too used to going down the road stumbling and
Mumbling to myself in the darkness
I know I’m just a human and I’m flawed, yet
I still can’t ask around for help like that
Unless I need help getting sun and sea sickness,
Looming shadows beneath this, stupid little
Yellow inner tube life-saving prison
I can barely get to my feet, this might be
Too much for me to accept living, and now
Just to stay sane in isolation
I play games to maintain it through the waiting
I wanna be calm inside like the waters without
Yeah, the truth is, I can’t take a vacation, there’s no doubt
