Smoked Out

(album: Oh Wow - 2023)

I made you cry again
Don't have the strength to win
Cave to the floor again
Matchstick to hairspray
Docked in Duluth
I truly saw you, I
Knew you'd be empty
If I sought myself in you

Truth is I loved it
Tectonic, chaotic shit
Thought love took unending grit
Nearly forgot my name
Made a mistake
Sure-footed, wild
Walk to your hive
And I only got smoked out

I had the strangest dream
You were in bed with me
Opened your lips up to speak
Still had your baby teeth
And in that dark room
I truly saw you, I
Knew you'd be empty
If I sought myself in you

Truth is I knew it
A poor build with swollen sails
Now you'll be taking me there
Thought I can make you well
Made a mistake
Thought I did love you, I
Never did ask you
If this was a bad time
