about

feat. Kenna Hynes and Stutterbot

lyrics

Sink, a sandwich in a bag
A skinny myrtle flag
I'll never whittle to
The city's biggest drag
Opportunities arise
My finances disguise
I live in moments' lips
and can account for sighs

Nobody ever told me that my fun could outrun me
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
A hug and a kiss, she looks past this somehow

Won't give myself a break
throughout a stomachache
Life's brutish and short
That's how I'll eat this steak
Nothing grows again
in pockets lined with salt
And if it all perplexes me
I'll learn it was my fault

My wit's end's bacon and my eggs are runny
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
A hug and a kiss, she looks past this somehow

I call in sick like I won a prize, I beam with pride
Mugging myself, I wear no disguise, spread out my winnings and cried
I have this dream where she's blind to me, white-eyed, House on Haunted Hill
I can't look you in the eye
You take care of me, and I won't know why

I wrote a song full of jokes, all of them unfunny
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
She smiles and insists I'm forgiven for this somehow
