about

Labels can be hard, and applying them to yourself can be even harder. Am I a pan-romantic queer demisexual or am I just trying to wriggle out of society's narrow categorisations with a bunch of made up words? Should those words just be descriptive or empowering too? Are there even rules for this, and does it matter?

While it might not necessarily sound it, I think this is one of the angriest songs on the record. And all that anger is travelling inwards. I used to have a habit of holding myself up to redundant forms of scrutiny just to have an excuse to scold myself for falling short of the mark. It's the last track on the last Skull Puppies EP and testament to how overdue it was that I move away from home and give myself the space to reassemble.

Also it's on here as an example that, with enough practice, it is possible for me to play songs in a time signature other than 4/4.

lyrics

That love in its infancy
Was tangible, intoxicating
And that idiot will be forever lonely
For living in its shadow

Home is where the darkness grows
Home is where you feel alone
Home is where you'll leave someday
Home is where you'll start again

That freak, he says he likes me
But it never goes anywhere
Am I a stupid fling or a song he sings
To make the world believe he has a heart?

Don't you crush on me
Go fucking crush yourself

I'm ineffable, I'm broken and I don't exist.
