about

A story part fictional, part true story, based on a guy I worked with in Austin, TX.

lyrics

tiniest bar in Texas
such an odd thing these days
when everything has to get bigger, always
Shooting higher into the sky
digging deeper into the ground
The place where you grew up is nowhere to be found
Two blocks from here
hazy summer night, you lost your mind
And you swear to god, you’re never going back, you served your time

Taking care of your kids,
trying to live honest
and do what’s right, whatever that means...
Keeping a gun under your pillow
Just because...you never know.
Plenty of people you call “enemy”.
But it’s too late tonight to go that far back in time
You have to let it go before it swallows you whole

Town lake is glimmering
Watching it is like seeing time stand still
it doesn’t bend to anyone’s will
And that’s how you’ve always been:
Strong, proud, soft, fleeting...
always running... Sometimes that face you wear suddenly comes off
But fuck the world, no one gives a shit about us...
It’s all a game, a charade to keep the wheels grinding
And once you’ve seen the truth,
it’s all too blinding
It’s all heartless and cold blooded
heartless and cold blooded
