Clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia, Matthew Johnston was inspired to write this song to take listeners on a heavy journey through a maze of sound and his thought processes in this unique rendering that is very much a personal commentary of how Matthew experiences life.
Lyrics
Somewhere along the road
You were left behind
But life (life, life)
Wants you to reach inside
Imagine where you came from
Think of everyone you’ve been
No matter why, we will try
Cuz you, you can start something!
Yeah you, you can start something!
Sometimes in your life
You may lose your mind
But we can heal (heal)
We’ll find our way in time
Imagine where you came from
Think of everyone you’ve been
No matter why, we will fly
Cuz you, you can start something!
Oh you, you can start something!
(auditory montage of internal voices)
