A long awaited (by me) split track with j moriarty that considers the inequitable calculus of being working class in 2020-2023, while also having goals and relationships to take care of.
If you're about to pay for this track, consider also buying some earrings from a friend, or buying a tattoo design from another friend, or custom art from yet another friend, however you can spend money on your friends is a win.
But especially consider buying tunes over at j moriarty's bandcamp
Thank you in whatever way.
lyrics
(cody)
winter came quick for us
found a warmer dusk
had to pack it up
dithered,
i need you to trust
there's a light to touch
you can watch me jump
winds turn and i turn to bitter rust
is it meant for us;
what we don't discuss?
skin burns circular
the surface of the sun
what it might become, is it just a hunch
and you'll make
what a living takes
til the ratio rolls off of one to one
and the ache
that you couldn't meditate away
siphons off the last of healthy blood
your thumb
on which you start to count
feels more like a zero every time
as you sum
up from what never was
supposed to come together in your mind
(jamie)
i was all summer
i was hangin on while i was getting down
i couldn't see a way over
crouchin down up on the edge of my mind
but i can see the sun closer
swear i struck eyes with the cold and a vengeance
it could rake your focus right off of it's hinges can't see where i'm goin
gotta worry bout the outside
and you'll make
what a living takes
til the ratio rolls off of one to one
and the ache
that you couldn't meditate away
siphons off the last of healthy blood
your thumb
on which you start to count
feels more like a zero every time
as you sum
up from what never was
supposed to come together in your mind
