Description: Within the seesawing of a lap steel guitar through reverse delays, I thought about how we have become so atomized that we imagine ourselves as islands but like actual islands when the storm comes to our shores there is no place to hide.

Within the seesawing of a lap steel guitar through reverse delays, I thought about how we have become so atomized that we imagine ourselves as islands but like actual islands when the storm comes to our shores there is no place to hide.

lyrics

Ships passing in the night
Just in time delivery
Everything to your door
Is this what you wanted?
An island to yourself

There's an army in your room
They're tracking shit everywhere
They ask you who is in charge
They want to know whose side they're on
An island to yourself

It's the same old party
The boys are drunk again
They hide behind your dress
As the tide comes in
An island to yourself
