recorded with the voice memos app.

this is the first single off of the upcoming album, "past mary", recorded in motels and friend's couches throughout the US since the beginning of 2020.

lyrics

mary hoped to save my soul
and I'm like leave that shit alone
emma wants to give me peace
and I'm like can we just get something to eat

I'm changing addresses every eight months now
I live in motels
or when the money's tight
out of the back of my car

there are conversations I should have with people I love
some conversations I should definitely have with people I loved
or have I picked the bottle again?

Mary hoped to save my soul
but she got the message
and she moved on
and Emma banged here head against the wall
friend, I'm sorry

If I found purpose, I wouldn't want it for myself
and if I found meaning, I'd put it on the shelf

let the champagne trickle by me
vanish down the well
let the champagne trickle by me
vanish down the well

two or twelve andre mimosas
so in the morning I believe it's true
two or twelve andre mimosas
so in the morning I believe it's true
that good sunrise in perception lies
goodness all lives in perception they lie

because I've picked another city
I've picked a different career
I've picked some simple standard ways to feel a little less weird
I'd pick another lover
ingest another paycheck
became the small spoon in a much bigger apartment
hit the drugs hit the bottle
felt the alcoholic throttle
still I find
that the center of my mind
is always
just spinning through time
but I don't really wanna stare at it or sit alone in rooms
so I will move to Honolulu
help me write a new song

Mary hoped to save my soul
Mary hoped to save my soul
