about

This was a song I wrote after getting fired from a year long job at a vegetarian restaurant. It's about the mix of liberation and sadness that followed.

lyrics

They both want you home
They both want you home
Take what you will and let it alone
Take what you will and let it alone
Someone else will come along soon
Someone will work harder than did you
A heavier type of skin and a sad long face
So let it be unjustice in this place

Here they won't see you the same at all, would you let go of the reigns
Set free to the clouds in the sky, free to the sky

Never would the diving take so long
Never would be stronger or more alone
And resting in the backseat of the car
A second hand old camera and a guitar
The scent of a brand new nature under my nose
A whipping harmony blows through my clothes
