about

This is an incredibly personal track that is meant to address mental health, my struggles with it and others, but my simultaneous privilege that music and touring has brought me.
And also a couple very impactful experiences. Visiting a concentration camp and working in Vancouvers downtown Eastside, which I will be again shortly. The beauty and darkness of life all exist at once. We find our way through or give up

lyrics

Covering ground again
Going by the sound again
I won't let you down again
With everything I'm not

We're leaving town again
Ignoring safe and sound again
Trading lost for found again
But that won't make it stop

I had to escape, I was sick of the scene
I got pleasantly lost in Bethnal Green
Or was it 6 AM on a Brooklyn train?
Hey

Feeling stuck somewhere in between
Like "I can never seem to say what I mean
And I can't shut off this running brain
Hey
And it felt like hell but I still call it lucky

For so long I ignored what's true
And I know I missed a chance or two
I'm not wasting it, wasting it
Well I'm facing it, I'm facing it
I worked so hard to build these walls
But they gotta tear them all down to deserve you all
Well I'm facing it, facing it
I'm still chasing it, chasing it

I'm wasting time again
Losing my goddamn mind again
We lie and say it's fine again
When we all know it's not

I'm walking blind again
Scared of what I might find again
I didn't fail to try again
But that won't make it stop
No that won't make it stop

Well I'm a cliche who kept it all inside
The only place I've been is in my mind
And I'm not defined by my mistakes
Hey
And my best friend went for a drive
He was chasing the sun and suicide
They found him just in time by a lake
Hey
And it felt like hell but I still call it lucky
And when it felt like hell I had you on my mind

Chorus

The birds still sing at Dachau
Yeah the birds still sing
I've tried to make sense of these things
And the sun still shines on Hastings
Yeah these streets still see the sun
It all exists at once
It all exists at once
