I’m trying to get up from down
Movin around and around
You’re supposed to get close and then...
they’re all gone
You’ve got a couple hours on your way
Where are you going, did you say?
And when’s the latest...
that you can leave?
Remember those times we spent?
Laughing like the world wasn't ending
Living in the seconds, limited but free
Now we’re trying not to think about working tomorrow
All of them times were grand
We weren’t looking at the hour hand
Now they’re so far gone
We’ll never get them again
Man, I spent so much time crying
about what were problems then
Saying, “if I could do life over again…”
Again and again
Would you look out your window, child?
See the brightness there
It doesn’t look good from this angle
But then again, I’m moving around

Can you rub my eyes, man?
(don't look, don't see)
Can you spit in my mouth, man?
(don't talk, don't speak)
Do you hear yourself?
(back, forth, back, forth)
Do you taste the blood?
(back, forth, back, forth)
I will not laugh
I will not live
I will not smile
I will not taste the blood
Can you hit my face, man?
(don't look, don't see)
Can you crack the whip, man?
(back, forth, back, forth)
Do you like the sound?
(don't hear, don't mind)
Do you like how it feels?
(don't know, don't feel)

Snowy Heart

Piss into the ocean and get lost in all the mess
I never understood why these people are climbing this
I'll wait to pick you up, but end up standing in the rain
Grab myself a cigarette and smoke away the pain
I'm not comfortable with my body, and I'll never say that I am sorry
High and out, all I think about is how I want your love
I dream of your arms, and of never being gone
You're the only one who understands my brain
You're the only one who can take away my shame
It's not that I am lonely; it's not that I can think of you only
I've howled and I've hurt and don't waste your care on me
I loved you in the dark, but now I know I do not see you
I'd kiss your cloudy feet if you would kiss my snowy heart, fickle and diseased; it's ugly and it really hurts me
Please don't weary me with your arms
I'm scared of my heart and your limbs,
bruised, but beautiful
I'm scared to my heart of your leaves,
blowing softly away
Please don't let me wither and die today
And I never thought of death until this sorrow
Now I think I might just go ahead and die tomorrow
Unless you rescue me
Please don't rescue me

I told you man
I’m scared of death
And I told you man
I need your breath
in my bones
But I told you man
Get out of my bones
And I told you man
Just leave me alone
Just let me die without worrying about if you exist, man
Hallelujah, that’s what they say
But I came to ya, and what did you say?
I came to ya, but what did you say?
Hallelujah, what the hell does that mean?
I told you man
I don’t go up that mountain lest you check me out
I don’t take a step lest you make me feel alright
Are you sure I’m okay?
Can you make me that sure of you?
Hallelujah, that’s what they say
But I came to ya, and what did you say?
I came to ya, but what did you say?
Hallelujah, what the hell does that mean?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Jack Holloway recommends:
Wede Harer Guzo
by Hailu Mergia
This might actually be my favorite record ever. Angelic and super chill, it is great for conjuring zen and relaxing your mind. Mergia is a prolific genius and a master of melody.
go to album
Easily the best album of 2021. Full of thumping beats, sky-reaching guitar solos, and sweet melodic flows, this Nigerian jazz-funk fusion record is an instant classic.
go to album
Minimalist and lo fi, this album still looms large. Prince-like, Strafe-like, yet totally unique. With banger after banger, it is groovy af and will have you dancing a jig anywhere you listen to it.
