mitski- why didnt you stop me (hoji tea version)

mitski - francis forever (demo)

a song i wrote abt my crush when i was 11

lyrics:

i think i don't think about it
but i think of thinking 'bout it
til it's ringing in my ears

and i try not to talk about it
but i still talk around it
til it's all anyone hears

and i can live without it
but it's survival and it's taking my toll
and my fear

well, you know it follows
down through the hollow,
drive with my eyes closed
hope it's not here

and it's my battle
the last words at the stand
the hand that holds the hand
that holds the bottle

i hear him rattle
down through the cattle,
these pastures, this town, it
holds it dear

and you
you had your mind made up
and i had my sights set on

survival, sleep with the lights on
kick all the sheets off
wake up cold

and i don't ask about it
but it lingers,
i feel it with you
in my bones

and we forget about it
that night, pulled the covers up tight
and sent it home

but i still think about it,
on the defensive,
permanently restless,
hold it close

and you
you had your mind made up
i, i had my sights set on

you, and survival,
keep all my eyes peeled
leave with a smile
don't let go

me, and revival,
rosewhipped and riled
hands of a healer
and hollow bones

they don't know
they don't know

your bones draft

riley
