about

Joy is painful to recall.

lyrics

Light of the polluted Atlanta July night,
I been on my abacus tryna get this right.
Tryna keep my balance when reality strikes.
Like a comet or a bolide or a meteorite
Cutting through the chasm with a capital I.
Cutting through the chasm with a capital I,
Cauterizing memories outta my life
I wake up and navigate
Under Saturn and saturate
With the juice of what Adam ate
All my seconds, hours, minutes, I been livid, I admit it,
I permitted one particular memory to unwind me, entwine me.
I admit it,
I permitted one particular memory to unwind me, to find me.

Wet leaves on a brand new sofa
Catching frogs in the heart of terra nova
Of backyards when the sun was our closer,
Couldn’t believe that the summer was over
Now it’s early in dour October,
I was chillin' til an hour ago when I
Found the hair that you left on my shoulder
Back then when Atlanta was colder.

I didn't think that I was old.

And I hate all the selves that been runnin’ round me,
Like rodents in the sewer with pattering-ass feet.
I didn’t see a reason to kill ‘em til this week.
And I hate all the memories swarmin’ round me,
Like yellow jackets swarmin, attackin a boy’s feet.
I didn’t see a reason to kill ‘em til this week.
I hate the selves that run around,
Shower gold around my head,
Tell me lies until I’m dead.
Here’s your reason now.

Wet leaves on a brand new sofa
Catching frogs in the heart of terra nova
Of backyards when the sun was our closer,
Couldn’t believe that the summer was over
Now it’s early in dour October,
I was chillin' til an hour ago when I
Found the hair that you left on my shoulder
Back then when Atlanta was colder.

I didn't think that I was old.
