about

this is the first song i wrote for the album that still ended up in the final tracklist, i'd say it was penned early 2019 or so nyahaha

there are many vague jordaan mason and the horse museum references in this song and also the entire album oops

lyrics

My ex-best friend is a lesbian
She goes to town on the girls downtown
And in her head she’s a waitress
Collecting cash for the wife and kids
The wife and kids she abandoned, oh
The holy ghost, yeah he calls her name

But she wont drown in your lake disease,
Your breath of bees, your tree like knees
Are falling down

My next door neighbor has a bag
He fills with foul uncultured rags
He saw her in the street one night
He stuffed her in and closed it tight

Pollinate my head with dread, dread, dread
I close my mouth, the bees wont find me here
She will drown in your lake disease
Your breath of bees, your tree like knees
Get chopped down…

Your bed is full of splinters,
Toothpick, toothpick fingerprint
Your holy ghost has run away
Girl you are stuck till your death day…
