The cherry blossom start
A summer with all the bugs
We stumble out for air
Like we've never seen the world
The tags inside our collars
Cut them out for good
And wash them till they're soft

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine

The skin we lost is settled
In corners we don't go
And growing like the guilt
Of never calling home

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine
I can tell
You're in it till you can't be seen
For a while
And then we're trading allergies

Blossomer

Buy on vinyl

Tried to get away from there
Late enough the coast was clear
We'll go on living
We'll go on living

Can't escape the latest trend
Or friends who find a second wind
They'll go on living
They'll go on living

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Make our exit

Come to me so comfortably
Ex-extravert social fatigue
We'll go on living
Quietly quitting

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Like before (we're past the point to)
Make our exit

Quiet Quitting

Trapped in a way
Perusing it all
I could just scroll
Around the universe alone
It's not like I care
'Til sometimes I do
Notice the leak that's
Slowly filling up the room

Day's last breath is spent
Drenched in your silence

The sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell

Took a trip
Deep in the week
Had to get out
Because the walls began to peel
The ginkgo and oak
Showered the street
The mid-morning ghost
You know that I can sometimes be

And I don't mind
Water burns our eyes
Throws us from all sides
A chance to surface right

As sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell
All your breath is spent
Falling through the sand
Drenched in the silence
