about
This song (minus the lyrics) predates every other song on this EP by about six months. I finished the demo in July 2020, and it just kinda sat until January 2021 when I finally finished the lyrics in the midst of a horrible depression after going on a road trip with my girlfriend.
lyrics
It’s in this bed I used to make out with the dead I’d tell them fly above these sleeping city streets. There’s a girl she’s wrapped in linen sheets, she’s beautiful and sound asleep. I wish I was around to hold her hand. I went to sleep that night, I woke up and drained all my life. I joined my younger self from all the better time we'd gone by. I’d dreamt of suicide, and I didn’t go outside, and I drove to you and then we watched a thousand planes fall from the sky. Dead, again. I’d done it all again. I felt my body slip away and then my mortal sight began to fade. That day I laid awake thinking it's not enough to dig me out of this hole. Will it be here 'til the end or will it swallow my soul? Our bodies alive, our bodies are fried. I have to go away. I just want to be alive and let you know you’re in my eyes and run away from all these swollen corpses. I killed so many people. I met them at cerebral shows in which I met Death, that shit’s hard to forget. People should be known as problems. Metaphors will cause me problems. Moving on, I fell so fast. The sun came up, I'm back to life in bed. Reattaching arms and legs, I got right up out of my bed. Drove along I-85, in five minutes I’ll feel alive again. I’m passing Georgia Tech and Papa Johns, I see your head. Taking the turn onto Hirsch street, I feel these nerves they’re killing me. But I see your face, it’s all okay, I’ll live to die another day, between your arms is where I’ll stay. Let’s run away and hike for a day.
