about

I wrote this song on the eve of my 24th Birthday. It's about self-loathing, the mundanity of existence, and the impending depression that I was about to spiral even deeper into.

lyrics

Well, Happy Birthday to myself
I'm one year older now, oh can't you tell?
With that Jager on my breath, oh yeah!
my Mama would be so proud proud of me
with these feathers in my headress and these badges on my chest
I'll straighten my tie and hope you're real impressed
and you'll whisper into my ear about my next great failure
and tell me all about how I will become him
and I'll start praying that in the next two years
or in twenty four more these vibrations
in my chest will cease and I'll stop breathing
Maybe then I will finally find some relief

I'm not everything I wanted to be and
by my next Birthday I still will not be
