The man I met at Hooper
Had a noose around his neck
He was fed up
Before the drugs had took him
He was not afraid of death
No
What scared him the most
We’re all those beautiful children
Jumping rope
All around, the desert by the road
All the children, running home
When he is ready he’ll come back for me
I will not be afraid
But now is not the time
You were my least favorite person
Woke up in a pool of poison
Still next to you
Dreamt I jumped from the building
Landed on the ceiling
Still next to you
The day I left Milam
Had a leash around my neck
No longer fed up
Before the doors had opened
Laid tangled by a death
So close
What scared me the most
Was being born
Felt like a child finding home
All around the desert by the road
Just a child, running home
When I’m ready I’ll finally feel free
I will not be afraid
But now is not the time

Fun, bright post-punk that emulates the bands I grew up with so well that I honestly had to check and make sure the album wasn't a re-release from 1984. So glad this came up in my recommended feed. modestwriggles
