Until I Learn How To Speak

Red Wine 02:16
A box of wine and a winter coat Did you think I wouldn’t know? I’ve been paying attention to you Some nights I want to get in my car And slide down the hill Adjacent to my apartment This ‘home’ I rent From a man I’ve never really met But most of the time I stay in bed Close the curtains and swallow my regrets And now I’m too drunk for this

I hit the bottle hard And pray for a second car To be in the opposing lane When I jerk the steering wheel your way Most nights I lay awake Thinking about how the fuck I’ll get through another day Digging this shallow grave I’ve got a different mug for every city you find yourself in And I sip coke and whiskey and wish that I was there I hope someday you’ll come back but somehow I doubt it So I pray to a god that I know doesn’t care And I hit the bottle hard And pray for a second car To be in the opposing lane When I jerk the steering wheel your way Most nights I lay awake Thinking about how the fuck I’ll get through another day Digging this shallow grave It’s such a god damn shame I’m so fucking ashamed Bury myself in it

about

A series of demos recorded in 2014, at varying levels of sobriety and emotional stability.

Each of these recordings is the first take that I could get through without laughing at myself or stopping out of frustration. The only overdubs are second guitar parts or vocal harmonies.

The artwork is an Instagram photo of my friend Justin singing a Neutral Milk Hotel song at a party in the summer of 2012.
