about

a song written in Chicago in may of 2006. had to move back to southern illinois then.

lyrics

we were sitting there thinking of an unborn home when someone said "you're never alone if the math don't add up & you're forced to leave again." we're always losing a friend. so i'm headed back south. the wind in my mouth won't be followed by an entourage. we were sitting there reading with a bottle of rum when i knew you'd never understand your skin. we're always breathing through holes. so if you're headed back south & the sun's in your mouth, don't forget to forget about me cause i'm a ghost darling, i'm a ghost. i don't really feel like dying, i don't really feel like staying alive. i don't really feel like...
it could be easy. sooner or later you gotta find that it could be easy. sooner or later you gotta find a way to forget the burdens, remember the rhymes that followed you through the broken numbers. I relive the words you birthed & the silent graves that i buried you under.
