Artist: Jena Berlin
Song: Motion Sickness

i hear where we go from here
is anybody's guess and nobody's choice
we worry about the consequence of things we can't control
i see potential in the ways these tiny motions can branch out
but we keep repeating anything that makes us comfortable 
"and i think i am headed west" he says as i put down the phone
i watch in envy as the night's last train goes rolling by
as we say increasingly more and more things that we don't mean
is it regret?
or is it longing?
do i think bigger than i am?
do i act smaller than i believe?
said i was on my way to riot
but i'm still sitting still
still standing here 
still walking by
oblivious
still giving in
a boy traces his finger over the raised globe mountain range 
as he realizes for the first time his own insignificance
he discovers the frequency that everyone else he that meets
becomes so stare-at-their-shoes blind, communicationless
and everyone that i loves leaves
as everything else circles in
the more i see the more i realize i should have known
these people live such noble lives
oh how i've tried
hear me out
said i was on my way to riot 
but i'm still sitting still
still walking by
oblivious
still giving in
i'm further and further from it
scream back everything i sent
just tell me i'm alive
leave me with the notion that
another time we'd be fine
so i'll sing about distance 
cause distance is all i know
and its all i need
its all i know
i'm out of touch in this postcard life
this motion sickness is all i see
