This song is called Late Night Appetite. It's about my journey with self- and formal-education -- yearning to understand the world, the mysteries of life, spending basically all of my free time dedicated to this task ... only to come to the realization that it's not possible for all of our collective questions to ever be answered, regardless of if we look to the past, present, or future. For me, that doesn't mean I'll stop trying to understand as much as I possibly can; rather, I might still be able to find a way to sleep at night knowing that I can't ever know it all. If this resonates with you, please let me know in the comments. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Late night appetite
All I wanna do is philosophize
Work to understand my mind
Late night appetite
Who's it gonna be this time?
Which flavor of perspective will paint me nice and bright?

Well we can play pretend
Time travel to centuries past
As if all our questions have already been asked

Late night appetite
I'm gonna hop these fences 'til I settle on a side
I'm gonna dance my way through the rye
Late night appetite
How many of my thoughts are mine?
If ignorance is bless, then truth is a sour wine

Well we can play pretend
Time travel to centuries past
As if all our questions have already been asked
Well we could surf the net
Right up to our hearts content
As if all our questions could be answered then

Late night appetite
I'm searching for the larger than life
I'm digging up in the dirt in my mind
Maybe I could find the right way to piece it all together
Maybe I could plant my garden with these values that I'm always chasing after

Well we could play pretend
Well we could surf the net
Time travel to centuries past
As if all our questions could be answered then
