lyrics

All the knowledge in the world, it won’t assuage my fatal flaw, of loving what needs to fall away. And who am I to say what is supposed to stay? Well, I’ve got a plan to make it all ok.

I’m gonna move to Detroit, i’m gonna start a farm. I’m gonna start a family of freaks. I’m gonna go to hell, I’ll get along quite well. I heard the rent is really cheap. And everyone worth knowing will be dancing in immortal shade, where Amy burns off her pain. Do the same for me…for me…

All the colors that I see they never seem to go away. I’m hoping and fearing that they will follow me until my dying day. I didn’t ask to know these things that give me pain, like how we never gave each other love, we gave us skid marks in the mud.

I’ve got a, I’ve got a plan. I’ve got a plan, ya, I’m gonna make it gonna make it make it make it make it.

I’m gonna move to Detroit, i’m gonna start a farm, I’m gonna start a family of freaks. I’m gonna go to hell and buy a Condo super cheap. Cause’ everyone worth knowing seems to want to die and going fast. So if you burned up my name, I’d do the same for you, for you… for you…for you…I’m gonna go somewhere far away.

One of the most talented songwriters I know, period. Especially rec "Fluid", which addresses being non-binary. Do yourself a favor and take a listen to these fantastic songs. Mars Ray
