about

Working a FIFO job in and out of Kabul during the pandemic I did 62 week quarantine in hotels around the country. Plenty of time to stew in my own juices which, it turns out, can get a bit malicious.

lyrics

In this hotel isolation, here within these walls that bind, plenty room for rumination, in the corners of my mind
In this hotel isolation, I look around the room and find, old regrets and new frustrations, in the corners of my mind
Motel room is beige and empty, ugly curtains broken blinds, fridge and television tempt me, from the corners of my mind

Working world is unforgiving, pretty soon my plane is flying, guess a man can’t make a living, in the corners of his mind
Back at home our daughter’s sleeping, hope the school kids treat her kind, hope she knows I love her deeply, in the corners of my mind
I'd come home if you forgave me, the many ways I was unkind, you're the only one can save me, from the corners of my mind

I could open up the curtains, I could open up the blinds, shed some light on where i'm hurting, in the corners of my mind
