A song about death. Or maybe it's not about death. Maybe it's more about having no idea if you're afraid of death anymore. Yeah. That's about it.
From the debut EP Post-Madonna, out May 15 2020.
lyrics
I was waiting for your call
I was starting to get nervous
Sitting like a cannonball in the water
heaven help us
She can take another drink
She can crack another smile
Sit and stare, not listening
Sit and chainsmoke for a while
I don’t know if I’m dead or dying
Left the lights on, dead asleep
Burning holes in this old mattress
Cigarettes and cheap whiskey
Litter backyards filled with ashes.
I don’t know if I’m dead or dying
I was dead before I could even see
I was dead before I could fall asleep
3AM comes much too quickly
When you can’t sleep with peace
That old box of rusted-out razors
Was the best give I ever received
I don’t know if I’m dead or dying.
