lyrics: |
  Too much, too much
  Mmm I want out of the moment
  Taken too much, oh
  I can't, can't afford to let it go
  Is there no such place where I follow intention
  Thinking too much, oh
  Will you always be
  Wide awake after I fall asleep, evergreen
  Will you always be
  Wide awake after I fall asleep, ever coloring

  Catatonic Elysian
  I need you to speak when we're alone
  Even though, Catatonic Elysian
  I just want to feel less alone
  Even though

  Too much to consume without choking on bodies
  Always crawling, crawling
  I can't afford to go slow
  And I know nothing breaks without
  Terminal tension
  If I call it here, then you'll always be
  Wide awake after I fall asleep, evergreen
  Will you always be
  Wide awake after I fall asleep, ever coloring

  Catatonic Elysian
  I need you to speak when we're alone
  Even though, Catatonic Elysian
  I just want to feel less alone
  Even though

  Catatonic Elysian
  I need you to speak when we're alone
  Even though, Catatonic Elysian
  I just want to feel less alone
  Even though, Catatonic Elysian
  I just want to feel less alone
  Even though, Catatonic Elysian
  I just want to feel less alone
  Even though

**FEiN** single (**October 22, 2021**), co-written by **Luke Francis Walton** and **Brandon Michael Woodward**. [Discogs](https://www.discogs.com/release/20743678-FEiN-3-Bodies): self-released WAV single · **3:41** · Electronic / Rock / Pop · Alternative Rock · **produced by FEiN** · **mixed by Cary Singer** · **mastered by Riley Knapp** · ISRC **QZ2QB2100003**: same engineering chain as [*800,000*](/songs/800-000/), [*Culling*](/songs/culling/), and [*Liminal*](/songs/liminal/), not the [Frank Rosato](/with/frank-rosato/) Woodcliff lane on [*Little Homes*](/albums/little-homes-fein/). Not on the 2016 LP; later-era FEiN, same duo as [*Behave*](/songs/behave/) and [*Delicate*](/songs/delicate/) (2021 cluster).

Overload at the edge of release. The opening races past its own intention (*I want out of the moment*) and the chorus reframes love as insomnia: *will you always be wide awake after I fall asleep*. *Catatonic Elysian*, paradise frozen, repeats *I just want to feel less alone* until the word wears thin.

The title lands in verse two. *Too much to consume without choking on bodies* makes consumption both literal and social, and *nothing breaks without terminal tension* is FEiN's drama physics in one line. Less satirical than *Little Homes*, less apocalyptic than *800,000*: intimate claustrophobia in theatrical-pop dress.
