about

I wrote this while I was staying in Boston, out of my element, adventuring, wondering why I wanted to be there and not somewhere else, wondering what home even means. I had the chance to stay more permanently instead of going back to West Virginia -- a lady was going to rent out her house because she needed to get away for a while. That's exactly what I was doing, except that I had ended up in the exact place she was trying to escape, which really drove home the point that "home" is relative. This is a song inspired by that realization.

lyrics

You vowed your life with your kiss of death
And your words offered at your best
But changing ages made you forget
Your same wandering ways win the day again

Goldie Goldie aren't you always frozen
knowing you're far from home
Only holding on til all is over
all is overthrown

Say you hate this place in eight thousand ways
But everywhere's the same
don't you need a deeper change
There's someone else escaping your destination
Your thoughts are cut and paste

You yearn for what is not found
You don't for what is around you
burn the forest for the trees
Your debt was buried in the leaves
