[Verse 1]
I've made a home in the small confines of a routine
'Round a blue screen, I've centered it all
In the middle of everything that I need
I glued down
A big old rug to sweep all kinds of stuff
I'm getting to later
And it covers nice in this home for me
I'm always stimulated, I'm well related
This shit's outdated in a week or two
I won't complain, there's always something to do
I can't remember how it feels to be bored
It's been three days since I walked outdoors
And I'm catching on, but too little too late
[Chorus]
I wish I could settle down for a minute
Gain back my sense of time
No sense in faking if I could stop

Tell me why I don't wanna try
Maybe I don't wanna know why
[Verse 2]
I've never been okay with silence
I'll get violent trying to fill up the space
Feeling around for the easy way out
It's been awhile since I've been alright
I've tried, nothing else is getting me high
I'm shifting the focus to changing my mind
[Chorus]
I wish I could settle down for a minute
Gain back my sense of time
No sense in faking if I could stop
I would have done it
Tell me why I don't wanna try
Maybe I don't wanna know why
I wish I could settle down for a minute
Gain back my sense of time
No sense in faking if I could stop
I would have done it
Tell me why I don't wanna try
Maybe I don't wanna know why

I wrote ‘Don’t Know Why’ about phone addiction – how normal it is for all of us to be spending four to six hours in front of a screen every day. Coming to the realization of how reliant I am to technology and my phone was a scary one for me. Writing this song helped process those emotions, and I hop...
