its the fallacy of life you can't get fucked up every night I mean you could, but would that be right? if it is I've been doing alright open up I'm coming in broke a promise to a friend angels circling my corpse grab another watch it pour cold of winter facedown in dirt it was a joke but it still hurt the sun burst you'll always be my first when everything was pure burning up over my head star-spangled banner colored red you called me out made me hate myself rightfully so

I had a drink at 12:30 I thought I felt alright I saw the blanket was dirty I caught ya lookin in my eyes I thought I sent the right message I thought I gave the right signs really my glass was half empty really there's doubt in my mind I don't really wanna live forever I just wanna live for now what if the thing you thought was better was really killing you now and we're all at least half empty from buncombe down to panther creek to where my family used to stay hell I've been broken for weeks I had a drink at 12:30 I thought I felt alright I saw the blanket was dirty I caught ya lookin in my eyes

it's a shame how my heart behaves it only stays for twice a day I feel it slip away it's a contract between you and me forged in codepency and it got torn up you took me out, you made me pay couldn't come to terms with my mistakes I'll, drown in this lake never foresaw this reckoning, I feel the weight of the shape I'm in let it run amok what about desolation, what about sorrow what about the things I give and those I've borrowed It seems I've broken our pact it'll be my last I'll be gone by tomorrow and all we've shared can't last my final act World Series Hangover

Glimpse 01:26
you'll never see the way I am when I'm alone after you leave I caught a glimpse of what I needed so long, goodbye it was too good to last every night and I tried to heal it too god knows I did it always comes in phases your fingers on my spine I collapse, I become jaded I'd call you mine close the door swiftly don't waste any precious time we'll meet together in the morning in my mind

Lead 03:27
my hands were open wide out into the world but I walked home helpless empty-handed and alone sometimes you gotta make a choice whether to let yourself go apathy is a slippery slope how poppy ended up could that be me everyones got their own disease vices and virtues bottles thrown at walls help me understand premonitions the void calls I hope I get it through my human head dragging around my body like lead I hope I get it through my human head dragging around my body like lead

about

Written in fragments between 2020-2022, World Series Hangover is a record about substance abuse, escapism and coping with the nature of the world. Each song is a testament to a different kind of substance abuse, whether it be reflecting on generational curses, impulsively using without intention, or escaping your own reality through another person. Writing this record was a meditative experience that led to a deeper understanding of my personal faults and grounded reflection on how to heal from past traumas. I hope it can do the same for whoever listens. The biggest thanks to Lawson Alderson for opening the doors of Drop of Sun to mine and my collaborators' vision, as well as his welcoming and helpful attitude towards the whole recording process.

Special thanks as well to Jude Corbin, Tim Brozowski, Dan O’Grady and Caleb Pace for their contributions to the writing and recording of this record, Candlepin Records for their support, belief and assistance throughout the surreal process of releasing art into the world, and my friends, family and wonderful partner for supporting and believing in Tombstone Poetry from the beginning.
