about

From [INTERMISSION VI].

This song is not from MIke and does not sit in the WOE.BEGONE canon, metaphorically or otherwise. This was originally an Aliza Schultz instrumental and the lyrics reflect the surreality of that show. I was inspired by Dirty Projectors somewhat, though I don't know if that shows in the final product.

lyrics

Walking home I am a little tired
you would mistake me for anyone

It was a heavenly body before I was anything
I was feeling heavy about it even before it got a chance to lift me
in a desperate hum
I gave it what it wants (hum)

I was saying
the decline
was coming shortly
I can not predict the future
but I’m not trying
oh I’m not trying

I mean do you really have to wonder
what kind of person gets in so far?
The sky was streaked with anger
across the middle like a scar

and I was living wrong with that
always ready to finish
dispossessed from an ending
I swear is near

It’s a miracle
transcended on the floor
where the dirt is
I am having too much
fun with it
I’m supposed to be serious

spilling out an infection into open wounds
the bark of a tree to cure what ails
I never intended to defend myself
I gave it what it wants and that was it
I gave it what it wants
and that was it.

I mean do you really have to wonder
what kind of person gets in so far?
The sky was streaked with anger
across the middle like a scar

and I was living wrong with that
always ready to finish
dispossessed from an ending
I swear is near

Walking home I am a little tired
you would mistake me for anyone.
