about

Oct 25 2020.

This track is about OCD and the tricks a vulnerable mind plays on itself. But also joy. Joy in the face of these strange mind-games and the revolutionary act joy is, when it is in the face of terrible things.
Get yer hi-fi set up and listen to a great record, you deserve it. (Not mine, just any.)

lyrics

I killed the cat lives in brain
I don’t know what I’ve done, I feel so ashamed
Reaching Out is easy but it’s harder when you get pulled down
Reaching out is easy but it’s hard

He died easy, what a happy life
My best movements are now riddled with strife
I run ragged I reckon I ought to go

Live in the woods with a bag of wine
Make love to the trees and the stars will align
Giving up is sexy in the moment but not for long
Giving up is sexy in the moment but not for long

I’ll have the stereo set in no time,
be jamming in the moss with the gods divine
Living it up is better just keep on the pulse

And if I’m my tired, won’t you hold onto me
And if I’m cold give me bread
I’m not gods daughter
I’m not their son
This artifact of sin not yet dead

Reaching out is all you ever wanted my love
How does that feel?

I killed the cat lives in brain
I don’t know what I’ve done, I feel so ashamed
Reaching Out is easy but it’s harder when you get pulled down
Reaching out is easy but it’s hard
