And I wish you knew
What it’s like to split in two
Have your best friend at your back
With a knife he will attack
The unsuspecting half
While he smiles and has a laugh
At the good things in his life
Free from struggle and from strife
But the strife he cannot see
Is the one that’s made by “me”
Build it up to knock it down
With a night out on the town
And it grips you like a child
With a hold so tight, yet mild
Tell yourself that it will pass
With a good kick in the ass
You’ll be smarter in a day
Or two, who knows? Maybe
When you’re there you’ll have arrived
And on that day you’ll have thrived
But when does that day come?
Always going where you came from
Running around in circles now
If only you knew how
To get where you want to be
full of vim and struggle-free
but what does that even mean?
mind and body that is lean
He’s the smallest man on earth
Who is afraid of the width and girth
In his life and of this world
Will he ever find that pearl?
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
