Coffee Shop

I finished the last song I needed to record for the flatsound/Christopher McFetridge split album. They'll be released on cassette through Jeune Ete Records.

Coffee Shop
i want to know where you're going
on the way to the coffee shop
because when your body drops
there's nothing left
i was told you were different
i was told you were done with this
i know old habits die hard
but this is ridiculous
you stood there so scared you couldn't talk
then took my hand and led me around the block
and showed me what those boys have done

we use to skip class on thursdays
to take the bus into Oceanside
just to go to the graveyard
and smoke until we felt alive
and we talked about dying
the release of our energy
like a flower you've never touched
like a painting you've never seen
you admit that you used to be
so scared of eternity
but that shore of timelessness
is something you need to see
the more you talked about that endless coast
the less your words were timid when you spoke
and that's what scared me the most

we would speak in a whisper
and only talk when we needed to
and drink all the alcohol
we found in the living room
you lied there so confident
with an aura around your soul
you're the flower i've never touched
you're the painting im lookin' for
i went to the old abandoned house
where someone had told me they knocked it down
and i felt everything hit the ground

i want to know where you're going
on the way to the coffee shop
because when you're body drops
there's nothing left
now you're the breeze in the summertime
you're the footsteps in the snow
you're the flower that i have lost
you're the painting im lookin' for

I'm going to take a late morning nap now, goodnight <3
