Lyrics
When I was old, I was invincible
You exiled me as too instinctual
Hey, man
Tend your garden
Hey, man
Beg my pardon

You're the one who ate up all of my sin

Your love for them, always conditional
We only live while they're existual
Hey, man
It's kindergarten here
Hey, man
It's my party now

Hey, man
I'm unguarded
Hey, man
Seas are parted

About the song

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE BY FOO FIGHTERS!

In September 2021, I dreamed that I was listening to TC&TS when, between "February Stars" and "Everlong", a song that I'd "forgotten about" came on. After vibing on it for a minute, lucid dreaming kicked in. I realized that the song didn't actually exist, and - more importantly - that I needed to write it when I woke up.

The cover art relives my exact thought process during the dream, and track 2 is the actual recording of me groggily mumbling these thoughts into my phone in the dormiveglian state between fully sleeping and fully waking.

Also, in a fun turn of cyclical serendipity, Cave In (whose song "Lift Off" is referenced in the cover art and ultimately the song itself) released their new album Heavy Pendulum today too! Check it out...it fucking rips.
