I think I’ll die before you do
And I don’t mind
You might wear black, I might be blue
We’ll both be fine
I will remain in this form only through the ones I loved
I will be in your every breath
Or maybe not
What if I’m not
What if the only time we have is now?
I have this need to be perceived
As someone smart
Sometimes I lack the backbone
Sometimes the heart
Cause I was made from generations of neglected flaws
I’ll be more perfect when I’m gone
Or maybe not
What if I’m not
What if the only time we have is now?
What if we never say these words out loud?
What if we sing them with a tender crowd?
I think I’ll die before you do
And I don’t mind
Divide my things and in my chest
You plant a pine
I’ll be there waving in the wind among the growing moss
I will see all of you again
Or maybe not
A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record" Outer Estate
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
