about

Recorded in one take, on the voice memos function of an iPhone. I was attempting to constructively combat a rather acute sensation of mental illness.

lyrics

When I was young and dumb I thought I'd be a star
because some people are
after all we're all the same
in the same dumb, deadly game

Now I'm old and I'm afraid
I'm too ugly to get paid
I'd better hurry up and be a slave
its time I act like I'm my age

When I was old as the whole world
I thought I'd be a girl
at the same time I'm a boy
and be the source of my own joy

Then I'd give up being bright
and forget I learned to fight
close the door turn out the lights
and write my name across the night

Oh bubble bubble, toil and trouble
I'm a Jesus Stuntman Double
I can see dad through the hubble
changing monkeys into Barney Rubbles
if you put my wolf into a muzzle
you'll be Hiroshima rubble

When I was young and dumb I thought I'd be a star
because some people are
not everyone can be the same
and if I'm not I'm not ashamed
