The state I’m living in Can’t find anything It’s causing some distress The more I tidy (the more I make a mess) Got myself in a fix Always over commit Just Trying to do what’s best The more I tidy (the more I make a mess) Is it a crime Am I out of line? Why do I bother? Things were just fine There’s no excuse I can confess The more I tidy (the more I make a mess) No point in turning back - got to cover up my tracks Get things off my chest The more I tidy (the more I make a mess) The more I tidy (the more I make a mess) Is it a crime Am I out of line? Why do I bother? Things were just fine My only excuse – I have to confess The more I tidy (the more I make a mess)

about

The first of two, maybe even 3, EPs in 2023. Track one is a slightly inaccurate examination of imposter syndrome.The second track is about seeing some light at the end of a working tunnel. The third is a metaphorical look at an untidiness. It took a good chunk of 2022 to get these finished although ironically all three total little over 7 minutes.
