Hello forum Members. My latest offering is based around a medical episode I had/have recently, and this is why I've been a little absent on the forum lately, my apologies. Nothing too serious, I'm sure I've been a little self indulgent with this one, and should count my blessings. For someone who is on the whole healthy, when something catches you off guard and off your feet, it makes you consider your mortality. I'm all good, and I realise it's all in my head in, just got to work through it. I'm not sure if I even like this song, I've been working on it for quite a while, and they do wear thin after a while. The vocals are a bit fragile, but I guess that lends to the subject matter. I'd be interested if listeners are hearing enough variation in my songs, I don't want to get stuck in the same vein all the while.

Thank you for listening and your feedback, kind regards.

Lyrics:
Laid down beneath an aging Jacaranda,
Sky above weighed down where I lay.
Hold on to daylight and not fade to grey.
Earth spinning faster, focus started to wander.
Unsteady, grasping for breathe, feeling uneasy,
An angry racing heart, pounding my chest within.
Time, body and mind diverge, aflood with adrenaline.
No longer twenty-three, time to back off, take it easy.

Wake up call, coming through loud and clear, howling in my ear.
Wake up call, the universe is telling me, you’re no longer twenty-three,
I got my wake up call.

Left alone with my high anxiety,
Muddling my senses with it’s false narrative.
Sleep don’t come easy, lord give me sedative.
Mind stuck in fight or flight just won’t let me be.
Lay my head on the pillow, not feeling too sleepy,
A loud troubled heart, thumping in my temple.
Time, body and mind converge, aflood with cortisol.
Tell myself I’m gonna be alright, dwelling on my vulnerability.

Wake up call, coming through loud and clear, howling in my ear.
Wake up call, the universe is telling me, you’re no longer twenty-three,
Wake up call, wake up call, wake up call. No longer twenty-three,
I’m sixty-three that’s my vulnerability .
I got my wake up call.
