about

This is a song about chaos people. We let these people in because they have genuine love and joy to give, then find ourselves stricken with grief at every turn of our relationships with them as we watch them tear their own lives apart and drag us into their undertow. Compassion is a contact sport, and sometimes being compassionate will leave you bleary-eyed and spitting teeth as you watch someone you love burn their life down and take yours with it.

lyrics

Dragged into daylight by the hair // I knew you in another life // what made you great was how you knew // the different ways to know you’re right // and make excuses just in time // convince your family you were fine // the debts you built up on the side // a bigger picture and you tried // to make it last // to beat the house // to leave a scar // kitchen counter // broken teeth // another stranger on the lease // kitchen floor // 10-hour sleep // some passing faith to make the leap // what made you great // was how you knew // the different ways to know you’re right // dragged into daylight // cheap sunglasses on the ground // I knew you in another life // you drove the car // and burnt it out in California // convinced your family you were fine // the dashboard melted // became a different kind of glue // what made you great was how you knew // dragged out of corner bars // Cheap Sunglasses on the jukebox // I knew you in another life // you drove the car // and burnt it out in California // convinced your family you were fine // your family told me you’d be fine
