about

From episode 80, "Sunday."

I wrote this on a stream with no intention to use it for anything, but, as with other songs on this album, the opportunities presented themselves and it made its way onto the show. I like how playful the vocal melodies are. I think that it elevates the song into something more fun than it would have been as an instrumental. The lyrics are playful, too. I love to be wordy.

lyrics

the past is a grotesque
a sink for forgiveness
I am up to my ankles
because nobody told me
what form to be forging
and I don’t wanna find out
the wrong way
that I sculpted out my worst mistakes
the medium is the message I’m afraid
and I wrote it all down

it’s a fever pitch
I won’t let go of it
I want my knuckles
white and raw
and I won’t forget what I saw but

I will try to be kind
I will try to be kind
if the soil will let me
I will try to be kind
I will try to be kind
if the salt will let me

the future’s a protest
young and reckless
bittersweet I forgot
how it felt
I’ve been knee deep in the trenches myself
sustained injuries for all the good it did me
and I don’t wanna find out
the wrong way
that I have passed the point beyond decay
ruthless, standing tall, and brutish
best left in the sun to fade

it was meaningless to try
I wasted half my life on
stories to be told
but I’ll be curious til I go cold
so

I will try to be kind
I will try to be kind
if the soil will let me
I will try to be kind
I will try to be kind
if the salt will let me

tempest crawled to land from out the sea
what a clever thing to be
tempest took to air from out the sea
what a feathered thing
what a clever thing
to be
but try to be kind
