about

For my family.
Wrote this Summer or maybe Winter of 2020/21... it was about someone close to me going to get help and I was nearly jealous of them because they didn't wanna go and I knew I coulda used something like that too. But it is a fever dream, isn't it? Working on yourself, making something of yourself. I was wrong to judge, it wasn't my place but I've never been good at minding my business.

lyrics

I said that I was going the first chance I get
Then the world fell and cracked and rolled into my bikes basket
Then my bike got stolen and my mother kicked the street
And they told her theres nothing left here but candy for me
So I took off running and I hit the water and Jesus wept
He was embarrassed cuz I smoked his last cigarette

I found my body in Wisconsin in a dream
I was 10 years senior I was morbid on a silver screen
And the doctors took me in and I took them by surprise
Was so charmed up by the glitter in their eyes

I get why you dont wanna go
But I reckon id go

I sailed from New York to Paris on a car tire
Wasn’t much for water but the truth, it was inspired by a movie from my teens
She said lets go to Paris, well, I would if I could
But i've been locked up in the jail room for good

I guess I ought to keep that, there's no room for error

I get why you dont wanna go
But I reckon id go
