lyrics

And I was always guided by those tiny stars behind your eyes
Follow them until they fade, leaving us with blacker nights.
And I would always idolize those diamonds in your idle eyes
Follow them until they fade on the day that the light finally

Goes up in flame, what the hammer, what the chain
What inter furnace makes circuitry so strange
So I’m asking once again, from my pale and humble cage, keep me down, keep me cool, keep me sane

Nevermind that it reeks of ennui
I couldn’t see the forest, so I burned down the trees
Can we pour another out for the drum that still beats for my bleeding heart and for your unmet needs

I adore, the feeling that I’ve been here before
Feeling that I’ve said that before
Feeling that I

I'm beleaguered, I mean beaded, I mean staggered in a sequence
With the regrets I been counting for the times I didn’t mean it
We can fade out like a candle, we can burn up like a phoenix
I can spit it like a hymnal if you keep it like a secret

Somewhere I just got lost
Somewhere it all went wrong
A point that I can’t get across

Somewhere it just went

But that was several simulations over several shedded layers that I’ll simply have to shake if I’m to ever act my age here
it's a shame dear, that I never found the words to sum it up right and I’m always feeling somewhat wound up, uptight, and upright

But it’s true and shining and it’s blue
It can be golden and amenable too
It’s what you do
It’s how you groove
To the words I could never make sense

I felt tired, then I felt weird, now I’m just tense

Decent Facsimile Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I would just like to say off the top, that for legal purposes, I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a rapper, bottled lightning, a 3-year-long car crash, your mother's love, the ghost of Kim Shattuck, or anything you might need but sometimes in moments of brief transcendence and clarity I can be a decent facsimile

You can find my main creative nonsense at anxiousink.com or @Inkbirds on IG ... more
