sometimes i wish i was irish
so i'd have a place to place my admiration of brown liquor and silent stoics
it's a lot to hold in
i've got constant tension
even in absence of peril there's always a stand-in
what it must be to be free
to move about unburdened
i don't need these things i keep
i spent five months being worried about my body
a head full of guts
a bowl full of blood i can't wash off me
only so much i can hold
there's so much, you know?
even surrounded by peril i can always make my own
what it must be to be free
to move about without this
i see this life flourish all the time
i remember meeting my dad in a parking lot
saying "i'm not sure where to be
it's so much easier to separate, not only in name"
