I’m reaching for the wand
and cracking open another
to peace out and hit the bong
until the pain drifts out of my head
by taking the best road
i’m holding my
burnt face in the pillow
for three more nights
i’m lazing in the dawn
scrolled enough in my bed
can’t sleep another reason
to skip my plans and get lit
all this in the best of
core of life
i’m calm then desperate
the moment I remember through ripped holidays
and dumb choices I made
recalling the two years before I
thought I could contain
the rest of life
inside my lighter
all that you do for the body’s sake
what’s inside
my vaporizer
all that you do’s further my pain
“She’s in a State” is an album of tense, coiled rock songs that pair the outré attitude of Sonic Youth with a strong sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 12, 2019
