about

We have this idea living in Austin that if we fortify our little house with tall fences and gates and bushes and plants, we can close our eyes really tight and imagine that we are somewhere else or that we are somehow protected from the wave of expenses that are steadily mounting. This song is about the commitment to denial knowing that someday everything we have will be taken away from us and there is nothing we can do to stop it (◕‿◕✿)

lyrics

I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I won’t let go of it

I build walls all around me
Cause they found me
And I’m scared
Build em tall
And surrounding
Oh I finally got my piece and I don’t want to share

I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I wont let go of it

Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
Oh I want to wait but I can’t
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
But I know that you’ll never land
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
Oh I want to wait but I can’t
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
But I know that you’ll never land

I’m going down but not drowning
I like darkness, don’t need air
Oh it’s all so astounding
They tell me what to do but I don’t want to care

I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I won’t let go of it
