first single off of ‘Willoughby Tucker, I’ll always love you’ releasing august 8th (early birthday present for me 🤩)
We were in a race to grow up
Yesterday, through today, till tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
But not till daylight, not till daylight
Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
It wasn't pretty like the movies, it was ugly like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn't do to anyone
You know that's for sure
Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Lay me down where the trees bend low
Put me down where the greenery stings
I can hear them singing
To love me is to suffer me
And I believe it
When I lay with you in that auld lang room
Wishing I was the way you say that you are
You'll go fight a war, I'll go missing
I warned you, for me, it's not that hard
That picture on the wall you're scared of looks just like you
I want to bleed, I want to hurt the way that boys do
Maybe you're right and we should stop watching the news
'Cause, baby, I've never seen brown eyes look so blue
Tell me all the time not to worry (not to worry)
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Think of us inside after the wedding (after the wedding)
Suffering the while to lie a time or two
Where we won't wake up on our own, wake up on our own
Held close all the time, knowing
This was all for you
Think of us inside
Gardenias on the tile
Where it makes no difference who held back from who
(To love me is to suffer me)

You're scared of a world where you're needed
So you never made nice with the locals
But you tied me up slow with your vine, stuck
It takes a few years, but they break bones
It takes a few months, but our bones heal
…
And I know
You're tired
Well, I'm tired too
Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
I'll praise the lord, burn my house
I get lost, I freak out
You come home, hold me tight
As if it never happened at all
Good morning
Show me the fifth of the cadence you want me to play
Good morning
Show me where to tie the other end of this chain

Holding out all my fears and faults
Those that conquer me
Started the second pack
'Fore the first one's finishing
I like to bridge the gap between
A break and long-lost lovers
Only to get me, by until I decide
I've had enough
Most of the time, I can feel them on me
The eyes from the stranger's window
It's dark, and it's lonely, but it's nothin' to me
At least somebody's home
Decades are wasting on your name
You'll grasp the concept of life
When you give up the point of trying
If you don't do the things that you do
They'll just happen to you
Pulling out all my weight
And do my part and you'll say
Oh, I'm so glad you're here with us today
You probably thought you would be gone
And until there's another way
I just have to face that there's no real place
To go and I could really be alone
I'd promise you now that if I had known
I wouldn't be standing here
There's memories to be made
And water that's to wade
I used it all up, drying tears
Of course, I don't regret
The moments where I wept
And yearned for what I've got now
It's only time, it won't age like wine
But it's mine and I'll take the blow

Sweetest Kerina, give me a sign
Still haven't seen you
Been calling you all the time
Calling you all the time
Caught in the turning, losing the light
But I've learned to believe you
When you say it'll be just fine
You say it'll be just fine
Let me know reasons why we change
Why our bodies are more than just breath and veins
Yeah, I wonder what remains
Past the forest and borders and pocket change
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Wind doesn't blow, baby, just 'cause I want it to
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You don't want me, honey, just 'cause I wanted you
Caught in the turning, losing my mind
Well, I lose what I'm learning
When I'm calling you all the time
But you say it'll be just fine
Let me know reasons why we change
Why our bodies are more than just breath and veins
Yeah, I wonder what remains
Past the forest and borders and pocket change
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Wind doesn't blow, baby, just 'cause I want it to
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You don't want me, honey, just 'cause I wanted you

this is my favorite wall in my apartment, an accumulation of thrifted goodies, things i acquired from dead relative, gifts from friends and childhood treasures. i feel like this is a good representation of me.
