Dark Wool Hood

lyrics

When I was young and someone else
I met an even younger self
Stumbled on a lost cause
Ran to it, shoes off
When I finally had to sit
I got what anyone might get
Found my wrong worse
Than shadows in a Trojan horse

And it’s never good
To have so many wants
Like everything you don’t
It’s a dark wool hood
And it’s not a good call
To live without the guts
To admit what’s up
Is what’s always gonna fall

So it seemed a dream
Was just about everything
Spending stupid nights and days
Laid up in Plato’s cave
Face of air and head so wise
It could only theorize
Ideas about home
Ideas about bones

And you know it’s just me, man
Walking up the street, man
Coming up on you slow, man
I’m not really doing nothing, man
You know it’s just me
Coming back home again
Crawling back home again
like a lost, meth-head friend
