Song 11, written and recorded on February 11, 2022.

Couldn't decide on "The Tide is Rising" or "Do Nothing for as Long as Possible." (Oblique Strategies).

Fender '52 Telecaster. Rickenbacker 4003s Bass. Tama Club Jame. Moog Voyager.

lyrics

Do you want to believe, or do you want to pretend
That the fires getting closer won't lead to your end?
When the meteors fall and you crash into the wall
Will you find a way to fight, or give in at the site?

The chaos closes in, but you don't want to begin
And the storm is getting stronger as you crumble to the ground
Will you stand up and fight and see another night?

How can you run when you won't even stand?
And how can you bury your head in the sand when the tide is rising?

Where do you go when you don't want me to know
About the secrets you are keeping, incognito?
And what about the whispers that you hear in the pouring rain?
Do they tell you ow to live, or how to start again?

What can you do? And what should you say?
Can you fortify your answers and keep the hounds at bay?
Do you want to hear a secret floating on the waves?
Stand still and do nothing for as long as you can

How can you run when you can't understand
That the longer you keep your head in the sand,
The tide is rising
