about

I wrote this song just after college about a friend I knew there who leaned on me for support. Her anxiety had her taking meds to be up during the day and to sleep at night. She was a bright, happy person on the surface but she had trouble shaking certain demons, as do we all.
In the studio, Britton, Will, and I decided to really slow this one down and they both did such an excellent job of making it really interesting rather than plodding, which it could very well have been. Will’s fills on the drums during the solo section stand out to me in particular.

lyrics

Dee, oh Dee,
For a moment I couldn’t see thee
Disappear through the glass
But never fear, it’ll pass

Red was the pillow
Under skull white sheets
Dead as a minnow
Washed right up by a bloodthirsty sea
Oh well forget the mirror
Forget the touch
That was always too much
That was never enough to survive

Breathing in the morning
With cocaine’s wooden stare
She snorted up all the wild honey
And said please don’t tell all your friends that we’re here
For now we’ll be forgotten
As we glide through the air
By the chin on our hairs
Like the skin on a pair of red eyes
