about

Written on a rainy night in Geargia, Fall of 2016 during what was largely agreed to be the beginning of the end of the world.

lyrics

I know what I have been told
Pretty sure it's lies
Trying to remain childlike
I disbelieve my sight
Idiots in aftermaths
They dance and sing despite
The story of the gory rain
That fell from such great heights

And oh
It just doesn't seem right
All the old appetites
Don't hold up to the light

I knew you so long ago
But then again too soon
The freedom-fighter side of your family
Grew up to be the woman in the moon
And have you thought of me
Since I preoccupied your flights of fancy
Do you even realize
That the clemency was goddamn guarantee

It just doesn't seem wrong
When it's only a song
Drifting soft through the dark
And oh
I just cannot keep singing
It's always only the beginning
