about

One of my favorites off the "Something to Look Forward to..." album. Also one of the few from that record that works as an acoustic track. It's a personal one, and fun to play on the guitar. As I said, this is probably how 30+ year old Derek is responding to the 18 year old Derek who wrote "Fall Apart." The "morphic fields and combo meals" line remains one of my favorite things I've ever written.

lyrics

I'm more or less a total mess
of contradictions and I guess
that's how it's going to stay.
I'm pretty much a package deal
of morphic fields and combo meals,
and nothing much to say.
Nothing much to say.

But I'll say it anyway.
I'll scream until I pray
then I'll cast it all away.
I'll cast it all away.
Live to run another day.
Hoping everything will be okay.
It's all gonna be okay.

I'll be dancing on my grave
before anyone can think to say a eulogy.
No need to carry on that way.
I'm sure Jesus can still save whatever's left of me.
I'm afraid I might not be staying long.

I'm lost and I can't find a map.
My instincts are all total crap.
My gut's got shit for brains.
I've faith enough to doubt myself.
Hope enough to ask for help.
Love to kill the pain.
These three things remain.

I don't deserve much anyway.
I'll stay until I stray
then I'll throw it all away.
I'm afraid that's just my way.
Live to die another day.
Hoping it will all still be okay.

I'll be spitting on my grave
before anyone can think to sing a melody.
I'm sick and tired of feeling this way.
Jesus, isn't there something else still left for me?
I think I'd like to stay a little while.
