lyrics

Sitting in the living dying and crying all about all the things that I’ll never get to see- a manned mission to saturn and toy story ten and the conversion of earth into speckles of cosmic carbon- the return of our waters to natural depths, the fading of human sorrow and stress. Or, hair growing back on the top of my head, and the eventual forgetting of everything I ever sang...

    Sitting in the living room dying and crying all about all the things that I’ll never get to hear- like the new janis joplin or an end to the coughing of us pitiful people trapped in our atmosphere. Or a latent transmission from alien life calling us out for malice and spite, applause from my grandpa, a voicemail from god...

    Sitting in the living room dying and crying all about all the things that I’ll never come to know- like why millenial parents don’t vaccinate, and why conservatives and liberals can’t seem to relate on the cause of the pain that wracks our world- why people stay in their shells when they’re pearls, or why God made me flowery but not quite queer, or why Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone can't be here...

    Sitting in the living room dying and crying all about all the things for which I always sing. For the love of my family and my efforts to figure out myself eventually! For the wonder and magic in every cloud, and the restless worms chilling out in the ground who will manipulate my matter once I’ve tired it out- what will free me to God, and how I’m free from all that for now.
