Looking’ at me you might not bet
Bear with me, it’s hard to admit,
but to be honest, sometimes I get tired, of sayin’ ‘not yet’
So if I’m being pulled to quit
Take that easy way out, exit
Why, oh why, am I hanging’ on, fightin’ to get through it?
CHORUS
I can’t die I’m booked, Last time I looked,
There’s no reason the tree of life needs, getting’ shook
So forget that gun, those pills
Ignore those crying’ whiporwhils
I think I’m needed somewhere, out, beyond the hills
I almost killed myself today,
thought I’d make it all go away
After all, whats the use
of fighting’ for one more day?
But then I up and thought,
that i’ve got some stuff coming up
Maybe I should stick around and see
If things start looking up, for me
CHORUS
I’ve heard that I shouldn’t sing happy songs
about the thought of doing’ myself wrong
But if I don’t sing about these tendencies
How will other people know they feel just like me?
Sometimes all it takes, is a rhyme
Hearing how much your tale’s like mine
I hope that we can all hold on
Find some reasons to stick around a bit more time
CHORUS

Absolutely unique arrangements of beautifully honest songs. There's a gentle, sweet tension between the acoustic and the digital, with Boekbinder's voice and words sewing all of the pieces together. Aaron J. Shay (he/him)

The music warrior continues her fight for revolution, freedom and critical thought, Erica continues her wondrous works from famous ideologues resulting in musical poetry for the senses. silverwarrior

I like the original by the Bunnymen, but yours is better, and more grand, with mild undertones of the Moody Blues. Nice. I'm also mad about your whistle version of Orville Peck's fascinating song. Nice collection. silverwarrior
