about

I wrote this, sitting in my living room. I almost always nearly cry at the lyric "I wanna cut off the kite string that ties me to these people." I think that's the truest thing I've ever written.

lyrics

I wanna caffeinate until I burst into a thousand pieces and dig a hole to bury them so that I can be worth something a thousand years from now. And all the years I spent falling in love and broken-hearted will be a thing worth considering to someone I don't know a thousand years from now. And all this time I've wanted someone to stick around and give me the time I need, because Jesus left me and all my thoughts are starting to make sense. I want someone obsessed with me that wants to be my friend so I can get hugs without even trying and I could forget all the times I messed up and ended up here. I wanna cut off the kite string that ties me to these people so I could fly to such great heights and it'd take a thousand years to end up here again. All this time I've wanted someone to stick around and give me the time I need because Jesus left me and all my thoughts are starting to make sense.
