Anatomical

Anatomical is a song about brevity.

What is the half-life of a moment?  How many moments span a life?  The average human lives roughly 30,000 days. 

30,000 days to grow, learn, work, live, love, and give. Currently, I have just over 10,000 days left. This feels abundant. So many moments, cups of coffee, glasses of wine, books to read, times to say “I love you”, Sunday mornings to sleep in, and countless meals shared with people dear to me. And against all of that, just one last day.

Anatomical (words and music by Sean Riley)
One breath
One night
Is that all we have?

One age
One life
Feels like less than half

After all I’m only human
Bone and blood
And heart

One kiss
One day
This is a golden time

One blink
One beat
How long your mine

After all I’m only human
Bone and blood
And heart

After all I’m only human
Seems way too soon
To part
