This is the first single from my upcoming album "Done Sleeping," which will be released through Zerowell records in 2024.

lyrics

Looking for manatees
she is just a plastic bag pretending to be
something hungry enough to keep swimming
looking for manatees

well I've been walking around the Biscayne Bay
and I've been seeing folks I know and saying hey
after really really really long identical weekdays
driving to and from a job I kinda hate

is the future meant to hold more cash?
can I be taught to commodify the time spent on my ass
by drivers in sports cars who make them sputter as they pass?
is this life supposed to mean more than that?

Hands like bumblebees
and I am just a sleepless night
who's searching for a dream
and she is just an anxious cat
on a rain soaked, pockmarked street
'neath the radiator moon
looking for something to be

is the future meant to hold more than that?
more than home owning, a garden, and couple of cats?
more than sunny Sundays walking up and down the beach
just trying to figure out what we feel like we could eat?

I'm just looking for manatees
she has grown a person and she looks a lot like me
and I'm a safer, calmer driver after I've learned how to be
afraid of everybody else and now I live by the sea
looking for manatees
