lyrics

took his portable phonograph
under a tree to hear every crack
static pop of every recourd
ever made about losing somebody
close to you
or losing someone who was next to you
or someone leaving town with all your things
and telling you they'll back but they really don't mean it.

let me go with the mountains
let me go with the sea
the creatures grow their fur
[grow there forever]
will it grow around me

it'd be better if you didn't follow
it'd be better if you didn't believe me
i won't be better if you set me free
i won't be better until you explain to me
what's so great about feeling down
and what's so great about getting down
what's so great about being a crutch
for the flame engulfing wolves that I touch.

it's my wilderness year.
