about

lyrics

This is a song about my bones. They seem so strong when I look at my writing hand, but the words they write are weary and feel like “giving up” and “giving in.” We’re already home and we’ve already left again. We’re already wishing we were living somewhere else. We’re already wrong and we’ve already tried. We’re all sitting here in the middle of our lives, trying not to be terrified. This is a song about the bones that fill the ground when we’re all checking out of here. The tales they tell are weary but we’ll not give them up or trade them in. We’re already home and we’ve already left again. We’re already wishing we were living somewhere else. We’re already wrong and we’ve already tried. We’re all sitting here in the middle of our lives, trying not to be terrified.
