about

This is the original version of Lately, a song re-recorded for the Right of Way EP. This one is faster and funkier and a bit more of a refined, produced track. I like this version, but after a few years of performing the song I started to think it needed to be slower, grittier, and with a looser groove. Take a listen to the Right of Way version if you like.

lyrics

Smoking like a furnace, spitting noises, filling up the room.
Dying of asphyxiation, trying not to crack the window:
A smooth dissipation at a cool elevation I presume,
I don't know,
I don't care,
Fire my waves into the air.

Loving like a liar, getting jolts out of a self-prescription.
Shaking off the side effects and prepping for another try.
A warm oasis harbors forms fat and faceless on its shores.
I don't know,
I don't care,
Send my regards to the people there.

I picked up my pieces this morning, I stood up,
Existed for some sixteen hours,
Laid down and disappeared again.
I went to a blurry disorganized landscape,
I kicked around confused and aimless,
Woke up and disappeared again.

I'm sorry, you were saying something, you
Hate the garlic in this food,
And the cold came on too soon,
And your family's fucked up too.
And it's just not fair that I
Never want to take your side,
Now I'm begging you to try,
To restrain yourself,

'Cus baby, it's all you ever talk about.
