Chatting Casually About Catch​-​22 (Unreleased Demo)

from A Storage Auction in the Form of an Album (Quarantine 2020​!​) by Amanda Rose Riley

lyrics

The penultimate chapter of Catch-22
Never fails to make me sick to my stomach
I feel ashamed of my laughter still reverberating somewhere in the air
What's funny about any of this?

And I think about you every existential crisis
Which is a lot when you're a 20-something nowadays
And every time I think of you, an existential crisis

Remember when we were just a pair of bored avid readers
With only a single book in common?
We would just pass the time bonding over struggles and dreams
And chatting casually about Catch-22

And we got philosophical as avid readers do
I said can something so fragile really mean much?
And I found it so strangely brilliant when you said "that's all that ever does"
And I think about it every time I read one of your posts
Which is a lot when you're a human being nowadays
And I wonder if all your old philosophy is really lost

And we got philosophical as avid readers do
But I guess that things change and settle down
It was so strangely brilliant when Shakespeare said that ripeness is all
