about

Self-disgust at letting yourself amalgamate into someone else. There’s a million break-up songs, and only about 500,000 self-reliance songs. Sludgy bass and muted guitars, reverberating hatred.

lyrics

You climb to the top of the tallest trees
And I know it’s not enough for you
Like maybe (when you’re looking at this wasteland)
You’re higher now than before but I’m
Slashing and burning the forest down
To build your independent dam round a cesspool of need

So you were salvation, I’m not my own redemption
‘Cause there’s a difference, I guess, I’m not autonomous
But only cavemen are afraid of the dark
But when dawn comes I’ll already be dressed

Moments that stick but I’m trying to reassess
Misheard lyrics & endless bullshit
I hurt people I love and you made me feel
Half of two is always weaker than all of one
I’m keeping a lid on the hate but it’s poisoning my veins.
I Say I don’t care anymore. Fuck that.

It’s ok, brutal but cauterised, one more lucky lucky fucking burn,
Another half-life survival but better a scar than septic, something draining
And tigers hunt alone. Tigers hunt alone.
When the fences fall I’ll already be fed.

Might as well rip the stitches, might as well walk
