an apology for all the things that i fucked up on while we were growing up

the word for this came to me in between tears in the shower a year ago

song credits:

written/mixed/mastered: lackhoney

prod: lackhoney, ben pleasant, chuck

thank you to chuck for the insane bass/sax

thank you to beep for guitars, masterminding, and letting me camp out in his room for 14 hours recording this

[lyrics]

-verse 1-

Brother do you forgive me for all the things that I have done,

Word that flew like pistol bullets from the front end of my gun,

Can you forgive me for the walls I stuck in your way,

Between your heart and what fuels us all, it’s just one breath away,

-chorus-

And no doubt,

the road goes around the bend,

Somewhere it’ll turn around and we’re happy again,

Can you forgive me for all the things that I’ve done?

This letters just a step to try to build up what I’ve fucked,

-post-

oooo

-verse 2-

These days I feel so, tired and alone,

Ideals I told you to live by strangled me of hope,

These days I’m trying to see you, for all that you are,

And let you know I always wanted you to be just what you want,

When you see how I hear hear her,

When she tells me about her heart,

I hope you know if I could go back that’s exactly what I’d want,

To give you, and maybe we wouldn’t have to end,

Up in a place like this, where you know me less than you know your friends,

-bridge-

and i dont know at all if a song will do the trick,

but i hope our kids never have to feel like this,

oo, mm,

-chorus-

And no doubt,

the road goes around the bend,

Somewhere it’ll turn around and we’re happy again,

Can you forgive me for all the things that I’ve done?

This letters just a step to try to build up what I’ve fucked,

-post-

oooo

-verse 3-

I wish that I’d call you, as much as you call me,

I’m trying to build something I can look back on and see,

That we’re proud of, and that my life is worth my name,

When the castle of dirt in under is all I have after all of these chains,

Do you hear me all these miles away,

And know somebody loves you that once pushed you away,

I hope that you know that, at the end of my road,

There’s nobody else I’d want to hold my hand before I go,
