I wrote this on August 12, 2018, as I drove to work at School of Rock in Bellevue. I count this as the day I realized I wasn't depressed any more. I recorded it in one take in the piano teaching room there between lessons.

lyrics

this is not the life that I imagined for myself
this is not the life I thought I would be living
this is not the way I thought I would be spending every day
with debt and diapers, spills and spit-up, ever patient, always giving,

this is not the life that I imagined for myself
my evil plan for world domination
where is my batcave, where is my fleet of robots?
where is my spaceship, where are my peeled kumquats?
where is my corner office, where is my stable full of ponies?
where is my rock star lifestyle, where is my shelf full of tony's?

this is not the life that I imagined for myself
the things I've lost, and the things I keep on losing,
but if I could travel back and change the way it all went down
this is the life I'd choose again,
this is the life each day I am choosing.
