about

First single from my solo EP "To Past and Future Selves" to be released April 2019...it's about student loans....

lyrics

When you come home and I'm just waking up
with the stains on my teeth and the shame in my cup
Because you've got health insurance
and I need a job

Being an Anarchist is all well and good
But $50,000 in debt and everyone in your neighborhood
is working at a coffee shop or going to art school

And I can't shake the feeling
that one day I just won't get up
and my parents will have to pay
my way to heaven

And I can't shake the feeling I don't have the option of giving up
because there's too many people riding on my conclusion

I could sleep all day and ignore the pain
but winter's coming soon and I;ve got bills to pay
but they can't garnish your wages if you have no wages

It's a long slow fall to bankruptcy
and they don't even care if you don't have any money
and everyone you've ever loved is stuck footing the bill
(because you bit off way more than you could chew)

And I can't shake the feeling
that one day I just won't get up
and my parents will have to pay
my way to heaven

And I can't shake the feeling I don't have the option of giving up
because there's too many people riding on my illusion of success

Now the debt collectors are rank and file
looking for the kid who went into exile
but even if you change where you live
they know where your mom lives

It's a little underwhelming to see what I've become...

And I can't shake the feeling
that one day I just won't get up
and my parents will have to pay
my way to heaven

And I can't shake the feeling
I don't have the option of giving up
because there's too many people riding
on my illusion of success

And I can't shake the feeling
that one day I just won't get up
and my parents will have to pay
my way to heaven

It's a little underwhelming
to see what I've become
here's to four long years
and $250,000.
