about

The last couple of years have us all kinds of stir crazy, if we're lucky.

lyrics

Hold on
Did you just say what I think you said?
I just can’t believe, but,
If so
Was something lost inside your head?
Well sure, it’s been a while but,
I know
We’ve never quite been on the same
Same length of wave, but,
How rude!
You’d think I was someone else
Some unknown buffoon, but

Why act like you don’t know me
When you sit down right next to me?
At the place where we became friends
If I did something wrong, why don’t you tell me?

And so
I guess we truly weren’t so close
Not as close as I thought, but,
If so
Was something off inside my head?
I know it’s been a while but,
How dare
How dare you treat me like a stranger?
Someone to ostracize and,
Demean
As you shout across the bar
Who is this fucking guy, but

Why act like you don’t know me
When you sit down right next to me?
I admit I had my doubts about you
If I did something wrong, why don’t you tell me?

I should have trusted my instincts
In spite of all our mutual relations
I should have called you for what you are
In spite of my friendly inclinations

Why act like you didn’t know me
When you sat down right next to me?
You’ve justified my doubts about you
If I did something wrong, it’s too late to tell me

Mark Hennessey Reading, Pennsylvania

Mark wrote his first decent song when he was 14. That was 19 years ago. Since then, he's been writing, playing and recording music in various corners of New York and Pennsylvania, cultivating his own brand of art rock, which comes with a surprisingly personal touch. This sound was first captured on his 2016 solo debut, The Difference Engine, and has been evolving ever since. ... more
