about

Will wrote this song a few years ago, and it sat aside unplayed for some time. The lyrics revolve around his concept of experiencing music as a pacifying entity, while struggling to find comfort and meaning in life amidst looming lethargy.

lyrics

People who don't know better
Try to help me, try to help me, try to keep me from
My apathy could kill me
If it had the energy

Don't waste your love
You know me better than anyone I've ever known and still
You won't come close to how she can comfort me
In elegant elegy

She don't talk to me, talk the way everybody talks, the way they all talk to me
She don't move the same sort of groove, the one that they do when they're bruising me
She don't have to move quick as you just to caulk a wound you try not to see
She don't talk to me, talk the way everybody talks, the way they all talk to me

Superfluous it seems to push me way down stream
Oh but to know that it will be enough
Until what the answer means is

Superfluous it seems selecting lovers seen in dreams
Call it a scene from a casino
Rolling liar's dice with me

Some people tell me, they say to let go, they say to love more
Like they know something I don't
All I see in front of me is her
And sugar-sweetly she guides me home

She don't talk to me, talk the way everybody talks, the way they all talk to me
She don't move the same sort of groove, the one that they do when they're bruising me
She don't have to move quick as you just to caulk a wound you try not to see
She don't talk to me, talk the way everybody talks, the way they all talk to me
