about

10th track from the LP "With Envy & Absinthe"

lyrics

I remember last, you were dressed all in white, clean cut and stitched.
Fonzie’d out on a bench, waiting for me to notice you.
I walked away from our conversation, thinking we should hang out soon.

But I guess that you knew what you were gonna do.
You said, “Don’t let me disturb your work.” “Yeah, keep up the good work."

Thoughts on you and legacy come spilling from the cancer lens.
Now I’ve got a leg up on anyone fulfilling this sin.
“I’m your ride, no questions asked”. Oh, this story bends, cause

We like to think we knew you more than you.
Saying "Lazarus was a good soul.” “Yeah, samsara for the tortured soul.”

My eyes are dumbly dropping bullshit.

To state: “This is real this time…”
And to ask “What is really real?”
It’s a question you would’ve smirked.

A school system message on the telephone.
Tell them all what he did was wrong.
No commemoration to challenged God.
But I challenge him everyday.

Stone-stares denying the afterlife.
A girl is drinking herself to sleep tonight.
A guy is drinking himself to slip inside.

In the news of a noose: Are you good? Are you truth?
Amongst all of these waddling hopeful tricks
Can you teach us all to give?

I’m learning things that I just can’t ever know.
A future landscape of our ashes sideswiping Mexico.
But when I call it off, some Mother’s day,

I’ll consider the relief (release) in letting go.
