about

Lion King by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia

lyrics

We can make a coffee table book of your armchair philosophy but I’m afraid that your appeals to the worst what-ifs are lost on me because my life has been defined by the bottle caps in my pockets and celebrations of the ties that bind everyone on this goddamned planet.

With friends like these, who needs anything else? If I’m a “shadow of [my] former self”, it means the light around me was bright enough to make it appear so tonight.

We can make a compendium of your bumper sticker rhetoric – of each retrograde, maudlin appeal to the otherwise apathetic – but my thoughts have been refined by the questions with no real answers from conversations replayed in my mind from years ago with Moss and Francis.

So throw my shit to the kerb and see what sells, because chasing shadows just never felt like a productive or worthwhile way to live and yet it seems all you’ve got to give.
