about

A tune about the travails of loving someone who as yet does not love themself, it can be dangerous; it's like a box of matches, one of them having begun to take light.

It's a box many find ourselves in, and some never escape. Inside it, we can find good information, good inner-formation, and then we can grow beyond even the possibility of it.

lyrics

A beautiful body at a swimming hole
and scared eyes
show
that this new gay
is too late
comin’ of age
to ever stay
and he shouldn’t stay
not with me.

and I’m payin attention
don’t wanna lose the vision

new gay
first time at the parade,
his handholds release
at the door
when i ask him why,
he couldn’t tell me what for
twirlin a ring in his sleep
an empty tanline
and it couldn’t bother me

and I’m payin attention
ooo i can see
don’t wanna lose the vision
of you and me
don’t wanna lose ya

i still love
the ones who hate themselves

i hurt myself with you
i’m still new
