(leave me alone)
Lyrics
curl in a ball & stare at the wall
you thought you were angry 'til now
you've gone out of touch & your friends don't talk much
you're scared you're to blame for it all
but you're only human
don't you hate how that always works?
a friend comes to help you but you're too confused
so you yell and you make it worse
so you make an attempt and you say to your friend
"leave me alone for some time"
(in a few hours i'll be fine)
you're walking around & you talk to the ground
you lie and you say you feel better
it's so sad to see, your clenched fists disagree
cuz they say you're more angry than ever
your brain won't shut up
and you wish you were born an insect
cuz then you just fly, in a few days you die
and right now that sounds like that's perfect
so you say to your head, in a desperate attempt
"leave me alone for some time"
(in a few hours i'll be fine)
Song Notes
did you know? this was the secret track on Eighteen pt.1! the way to listen to it in 2023 was to buy the album on bandcamp. a few of you did! if this was the 90s and i was releasing this album on compact disc this would be a hidden track alas no such thing exists in the year of our lord 2023 kids these days don't know about pregaps unrelated... i sure do love neutral milk hotel
Recording Notes
i love the sound of a ~~fucked up cassette tape~~ (The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2) we used the SketchCassette II AAX plugin to make an otherwise normal song sound w e i r d in a rare twist of events, michael is on the bongos
