about
this is a song about how sometimes you have a crap time and the person who's supposed to be helpful about it is the opposite of that and you wonder why specifically and also cosmically.

lyrics
grown up in the shadows of flowers
underfoot and undermined
so sweet but i'm a little bit sour
but do you know what you taste like
oh, i know it turns you off to know that i'm tired
one second while i energize
what is there in this to admire
or criticize
crushing under all of this lovely
crushing like we do at night
dirty me with makeup, that's ugly
baby do you know what my face looks like
oh, i know it turns you off to know that i'm frightened
too frightened to socialize
what is there in me to enlighten
or criticize
i know it turns you off to know that i'm tired
one second while i energize
what is there in this to admire
or criticize

A surprisingly tender and intimate concept record about long distance love from Cody Votolato of The Blood Brothers/Head Wound City. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2019
