about

last august i was living in the netherlands. i wrote this about my last month living there.

lyrics

august

august scoops you up like a cat tongue
meant to be sweet but
naturally tough
end of summer, i still need a jacket
i wanted your denim but
i forgot to pack it

oh bitter winds of change
pushing, pulling me away
i practice calling your name
let you off the hook
autumn shakes off the shame

falling in love, lighting matches in the dark
just because i tried doesn’t mean it’ll spark
burn it down down down, that’s a homemade problem
just because i caused it
doesn't mean i can solve em
just because i caused it
doesn't mean i can solve em

three hail marys for the flaws in your nature
isn’t enough to call you a savior
so just because i caused it doesn’t mean i feel guilty
black satin altar
a sin so silky

...
consider how this year is nearly over
standing in the driveway i felt ten years older
didn't intend to cause you pain
just like no ones supposed to drown from a hurricane

but i seen it on the news
you had more than me to lose
walked home in the rain in your worn out shoes
asking why why why
a victim of your shame
why you hated mirrors
and them bitter winds of change

august scooped me up like a cat tongue
meant to be sweet but
naturally tough
end of summer, my conscience is caving
on a love so sweet it’s not worth saving like:

like christmas candy
baileys and brandy
smoke clears its just lack of understanding
my body- overused it!
gypsy heart says it’s time to face the music
like that grocery store down your street
walking to your bedroom on dirty bare feet
august swept me up
threw me down
september winds blew me out of your town
