about

Written after I watched 'Transpecos' when I was house sitting my sister's house.

lyrics

I looked dramatically through the glass.
October sunset, we just had sex.
I looked at Creepers, Slender Men and candy cones
You stood behind me dressing up like a ghost,
and I said:

"Let's just be
what we are.
Running away from murders when we're not the one
with the knife
in the back.
The running away until you're completely out of breath"

You said, "what the fuck are you talking about?"
I said, "I'm not sure, but I watched this movie
and a lot of people killed.
But they were all good, weren't they all good?"
Everyone needs to protect their own land,
(and) their little family as much as they can.
You said, "okay well maybe everyone's bad."
That kind of excited us so we ended up in bed
And you cried out:

"Let's just be
what we are.
Keeping your parents up with the bed against the wall.
We all want
to feel good,
and so in this world it's near impossible to never ever hurt."

It is a never ending saddening thing
Everything has to eat a smaller thing

I held your hand we said, "a trick or a treat!"
We felt like monsters, walking amongst those monsters on the street.
We're gonna stop hiding from ourselves, we are selfish and we are murderers, we are murderers!

Coming home,
I can't talk.
I am too horrified by my own developed thoughts.
But that one night,
sweet Halloween.
Running away from murders,
well, that's just really me.
