staring down a setting sun…

right over your brain

whatever happened to nathan lane…

all over your body…

unrelated to kurt cobain…

sound asleep until it decides it will erupt again

it will erupt again…

the souls i never said a word to
regarded them the least…

LYRICS

THEMES

(started conceiving of the verses in spring 2016)
(@ jon’s condo)
(after he got me stoned)
(and then told me my mother was “disappointed in me”)
(what a little prick!)
(the old man would agree with him)
(and cheryl lynn would emphatically deny the charge)
(but then proceed to qualify it with: “only when you get drunk…”)

(just as trump was clinching the republican presidential nomination)
