Life in a Blender's Don Rauf is one of my favorite songwriters, which is one reason I've played in his band for 1,000 years. I thought I'd try one of his songs. You can hear the original here: music.lifeinablender.net/track/the-answer
lyrics
I am the answer
Waiting for you in the cupboard
I am dancer
Performing for you there is no other
Light in your brain
Please let me explain
I may come in
A clear plastic bag
Dripping down
Like the slowest rain
I am the answer
Moving all your heavy luggage
I am dancer
Even though your words grow sluggish
Days, all the days
They pile up
But each one fits the maze
Random turns and dead ends
Where are all my friends
I am the answer
Burning through every room in your brain
It's okay. Even the ceiling says you're okay.
And this collage I have brought you would have stayed permanently dark
But then you let me inside, you let me inside, and now my world is going up
It's going up in flames
