about

inspired by listening to ‘listener’ all day and realizing there is a way to combine slam poetry and guitar and wow i have found a home.
recorded this without writing anything down, not a single word.

lyrics

‘it’s as if every single word goes in one ear and out the other
we are deer in the headlights, we are creatures of landslides
and little did we know that they set this all up,
this is one big set up,
take down the curtain and live your life, gdamnit
because there’s nothing like trying to be something you cannot be
and i was never interested in being anyway;
i am not your messiah, hell, i’m no your noah
you can have my boat and i’ll swim for you.
you never listen, you are never listening
you never speak and i never say,
which one of us will figure out that this is the perfect way to exist-
in perfect silence,
in solitude, in the backseat of my brothers blue pick up truck while he speeds down the highway and i’m quite sure i will die soon.
and i will welcome it with open arms.’
