lyrics

there's ash on my car
as i walk down the driveway
i probably shouldn't be out
but i walk anyway

i got back to limbo
almost two months ago
and i'm fed up with intrusive
thoughts of blood clots

it's likely now or never
as i just turned twenty-six
which is apparently still young
but also old as shit

podcasts were my company
but i quickly grew guilty
it felt like i was abandoning
the musicians who saved me

Pavement
Smashing Pumpkins
The Microphones and
Mount Eerie

Sharon Van Etten
Joana Newsom
FKA twigs and
Charlie XCX

The Hotelier
The National
Nick Drake and
The Hold Steady

feeling protective of your
favorite artists is an
easy thing to fall into

and i'm willing to bet
that i'm guiltier than most
but i can't help it and
i just don't care

Deafheaven
Black Sabbath
U2 and
Iron Maiden

Robyn
St. Vincent
Julianna Barwick and
Grimes

LCD Soundsystem
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky and
Sun Kil Moon

all of these people and
so many more made
something click inside

i know what i need to do
and it'll be scary but
there's simply no plan b

Grouper
Gold Panda
Modern Baseball and
Lorde

New Order
David Bowie
Sufjan Stevens and
Tim Hecker

Youth Lagoon
Radiohead
Bon Iver and
Mac Demarco

i'll stop the list here but
it goes on forever
i've got a ratty old spiral notebook
filled cover to cover

the dim orange sun
flickers down
through the thick smoke
it's sad but it feels nice

i make my route up
as i go
putting faces to the places
i knew years ago

my heart is beating
my blood is pumping
i can't wait for snow
