about

a song about bad trips, playstation one, a budgie bird named rocky, and that nameless feeling, like a vivid bewilderment, that you get when you remember to stretch your joints and drink water.

lyrics

stumbled to your house
cause that's where the party's at
and found myself alone
you said hey come meet my friend
showed me to a cage
in which there was a bird

you put that little man into my hands
pulled the sword from the stone
i think i understand

i never became less from dying
you are the silver tears i'm crying
you are the light, you are the light

we go out at night
too drunk to drive
too much, too slow
undone by the glow

everybody knows
everybody knows there's no end to the road
shaped like a figure eight,
breaking your fragile halo

you put that little man into my hands
pull the sword from the stone
i think i understand

i never became less from dying
you are the silver tears i'm crying

i remember rainy days in high school
we used to play ape escape and tekken, too
you said you were always gonna be around
it killed me then, it kills me now
