about

Everyone is flawed, but the nature of my mind is to bias myself into believing I'm one of the most flawed.
Lots of people prop me up, tell me I'm loved, tell me I'm a good person, and yet I constantly find ways to alienate people, reject compliments, and internal invalidate all nice things said about me.
I'm working on it.

I originally really wanted my friend who was doing music under the name Talk To Animals at that time, to do guest vocals on this song, but I wasn't able to get ahold of her during the recording process.

lyrics

Something doesn't feel right, Feel it in the wind
Looking down upon the, Town I'm smiling softly, Nothing on my face true

I feel like the mayor of (tiny little town, perfect little town)
But I'm feeling weaker still
I have things to care for (its so beautiful, in my little town)
See my people smiling

-------?
Can you see perfection? (I don't see it here, maybe over there!)
My heart almost bursting
Breathing all this fresh air (time to clean my lungs, fill me up with love!!)
See the puffy white clouds
Breaking sculptures like glass (I don't deserve praise, don't give it to me)
I've made all of my mistakes
I've let people suffer (never thought I would, wish that I did not)
It's my turn again now

-------+
Now I'm in a new place, I think it's my home
Every thing's just splendid, won't take this for granted, I won't burn this place down

There's things fucking with me (get away from here, I don't want to deal with you)
I've learned things I can apply
Some will never get here (stuck until they die, no one to mourn them)
to my perfect little town
But some things might never change for me forever,
I may never lead well in my perfect little towne
