about

this was recorded at the Hit Me, Harold cabin in Big Bear while tracking their album. i had a moment to myself during the weekend and went out to the patio and played this song on Jack's guitar and recorded it onto my phone and liked it enough to throw a bunch of other sounds around it.

lyrics

i tried my best to come on and get happy.
i tried to pack all my cares away.
i tried to swim as soon as i hit the water,
but i got swallowed by the waves.
the waves that used to calm me,
used to stabilize my gears.
now i've dropped the oars, my boat's going down,
and i can't find any piers.

forgive me if i'm not talking,
i'm just having a shitty day,
a shitty week, a shitty month,
a shitty life stuck in this place.
don't put it on the world or on yourself,
there's really nothing to fear;
someday, somewhere we'll find comfort,
i just can't find any here.
