about

In many ways, this is a sequel to my song, Walter Paisley.

This is a real dream that I had. I woke up and scrambled to find a pen and scrap paper near my bed. I found my receipt from getting towed in Chicago and wrote down the dream. The words below are very close to word for word what I wrote. It's really just the recounting of that dream. It was really really weird for me. In the context of the song, Walter Paisley is me.

lyrics

Last night I had a dream where
you gave me back all of my CDs and
you said "honesty folk
made me think a little less of you

for always being
so self defeating and
self deprecating
you need to realize that you

must expand your mind and
grow as a person and
learn to love yourself for
who you
are"

so I walked on through the woods to
reflect on all your words and
when I did return your
roommates formed a choir and sang

"walter paisley you
carry on so emptily we
wish that you could see that
we are here for you and

walter paisley it's
time for you to move on
you're empty, so
empty

walter paisley you
carry on so emptily we
wish that you could see that
we are here for you and

walter paisley it's
time for you to move on
and be happy, and become so
happy
-y"
