SHT Musik By The Daylight is one of my favorite songs on Bandcamp. I find so much wisdom, inspiration and emotion in this song. I hope that some day a lot of other people will get to hear it as well.

lyrics

when you see an insect
don’t try to squash it
things more powerful than you
control the actions in your life

I have a problem
with no easy answer
but you see I’m trying
very very hard to just let it slide

so I dream
dream dream dream

wasted by the daylight
floating in the twilight

ask me a question
I’ll give you the answer
you want to know I'm saying
every little thing that’s on my mind

I am a body
stuck in a story
things more powerful than me
control the actions in my life

so I dream
dream dream dream

wasted by the daylight
floating in the twilight
