about

From episode 36 of WOE.BEGONE, "Respite."

I and everyone else have seemingly forgotten that this song ever existed. I forgot it when putting together this album, even after someone told me to remember it. I don't know why. It's a good song. Maybe I conflate it with the other two songs with questions in their titles. It's a song about Mike taking shelter at Matt's house and what he was feeling at the time. I think the chorus is prototypical Mike.

lyrics

It isn’t just nauseating
what I thought I could get away with?
You’ve already paid your fare
but I still linger here
dragging feet and dragging up
memories

if you’re gonna plead
then plead with me
I’m the one who knows the story

No, I wasn’t humble
But someone bent my neck
Can I stay here awhile?

this is a consolation
a pity to believe
the truth and all that seems
to be
all of that and more
I was marked for removal
before I first set foot through your door
