about

written in August, 2019, about struggling to appreciate things as even as they fall apart right in front of you

lyrics

//and all at once i existed //
with this feeling in my chest that i don’t know how to sit with //
eyes are open // don’t know where i’m going //
upside down clouds over mountains unfolding //
deep in the forest you are planting seeds
singing flowers only grow when no one else is looking //
so come along love // we’re going to the ocean //
her water is always cold // but her arms are always open //

you never so much as hesitate //
you were holding all the tickets for the impulse getaway //
you barely knew me // i saw you seeing through me //
shadows we didn’t even know we were chasing //
i’m floating further // and further from myself //
i wish the moon would swim down and kiss me through the evening // so come along babe//
we’re gonna steal a sea plane //
just to see if they can catch me //

we’ll stay on top of this slow apocalypse //
we’ll stay on top of this slow apocalypse //

you’re made of (angel) and (space) dust //
you’re the only kind of smoke i ever want inside my lungs //
it’s a riot // police car side-flip //
burning in the streets in a Molotov fire pit //
yeah we can dance in the orange glow //
until the military comes forcing everyone to go home //
but if i know us // we’re gonna find a rooftop //
put the city underneath us //

we’ll stay on top of this slow apocalypse //
