A peaceful time at a pretty park? But you know there is something wrong. You can see it in the corner of your eye. You might want to run back home.

As I drive through another new town, I think about who lives here Do they think that all they are is a picture in your rear view mirror Can they feel the wind in the sky as my car drives by can't say that I would know what to do if I suddenly never knew Landlocked and rolling completely for that I don't know if I'll ever com back Just want to let myself be free, so I sing about what to be Singing lalalalala, lalalalala I can forget to keep an eye out Suddenly I am in a new town But I don't let it get me down Just sing as a song to keep moving on Singing na nanana na na na na Don't think I don't know I'm letting you down, just give me some time, I'll come around Things are getting so hectic for me, life is moving by so fast I can't see I Just want to drop and be on my own, I wish it could be that easy I need to roam, I've got to go got to go, days I a dream I can live freely Landlocked and rolling completely for that I don't know if I'll ever com back Just want to let myself be free, so I sing about what to be Singing lalalalala, lalalalala I can forget to keep an eye out Suddenly I am in a new town But I don't let it get me down Just sing as a song to keep moving on Singing na nanana na na na na

Pawing is the debut album of experimental psych-pop songwriter and electronic musician Polysemy. Pawing has been a work in progress since mid 2014, and began as a simple, aimless recording project started by Dalton Moehnke to explore new sounds. Pawing is the culmination of that adventitious effort.
