lyrics

Paychecks to loans,
road dreams and pluck
don’t add up to a man,
but a kid, self-stuck.

We arranged a meeting spot,
walked the blocks near my house.
We traded tired, raised eyebrows
and started it off.
I’d spent a few years
treading water in stagnant pools.
You asked me where my head
had wandered off to.

“I’ve been lost.”

You trailed warmth and good health,
but stones built up around themselves.
I thought, “If these are the best days
of our lives, then we are fucked.”

I am fucked.

Stumbled my way home,
an earthquake took the block,
dogged by hypotheticals.
Oh, to chase and never stop.

On Mound Street,
I let my losses pile up.
Refused to claim stake in the rubble
and the sum of the stories
I told you and to myself:
that I’m alright and getting by.

So I coasted on hope
or the concept of having it.
Got myself dry as a bone
til mine were cracking,
but I couldn’t help but sink
into quicksand and pits.
A morass of “faultless” debt
I could never hope to pay back.

You knocked down your stones,
I tried to face my machinations.
Put plans in wet cement
we’ll spend all our lives changing.

On Mound Street,
we cleared our losses out.
I conceded my stake in the rubble
and the truth is the troubles
were stories I told myself.
Cause I’m alright and getting by.
