fluting - seb

from Fourth Strike Song Jam 2025 by Fourth Strike Records

song by seb, with flute by ari/rory

not gonna sink
gonna go with the flow
and i’m not gonna sink
gonna go with the flow

and i can’t seem to find a shape
to make you happy with me

not gonna sink
i don’t know
trying to go with the flow
won’t say a thing
i can go
i can go with what you think
yet i’m still left alone
like i’m a stranger in my home

(i am not
not a saint
i am not
not a saint)

where do you go when there’s nowhere to run?
you erode down the walls of the silt you have spun
erase your own tracks, and revise your own name
channel down the annals til youre fluting on the surface of my brain

i, i can’t go
i can’t go
along the backwards flow
i can’t go
i can’t go
along the backwards flow

and i don’t think you ever expected me to
you just wanted an excuse

drip, drip, drip
down my spine, spine, spine, spine
nip, nip, nip
at my mind, mind, mind, mind
echoes
down the flutes in the clay
not gonna flow
gonna sink like a stone

where do you go when there’s nowhere to run?
you erode down the walls of the silt you have spun
erase your own tracks, and revise your own name
channel down the annals til youre fluting on the surface of my brain

i am not
not a saint 
(repeated until end)
