this is about the way depression is often accompanied by growing up too fast. sometimes it seems like it’d be easier to be a kid again, when i didn’t have to feel/think/know so much. because i don’t have the luxury of staying eight years old forever, it at least helps to know that there’s gonna be someone who’ll be there when things turn to shit.
lyrics
verse 1:
i think that i’m too young
for my bones to be aching
my soul is so weary
can i carry on?
verse 2:
when will my mind clear?
these thoughts are a burden
i’m tired of the fog
should i carry on?
chorus:
who do i trust,
when my hands start shaking?
if my heart grows heavy,
who will be there to save me?
verse 3:
stripped of my youth
aging years overnight
ignorance is bliss
can i find my innocence
bridge:
wrinkles and fine lines
memory fading
i’ve lost so much time
fighting what plagues me
chorus:
who do i trust,
when my hands start shaking?
if my heart grows heavy,
who will be there to save me?
my favorite album by cavetown. he's the one who inspired me to make music of my own. best to listen to when you're looking for a friend or grappling with finding your purpose. denseboy
i don't know what to say. i've listen to this album a lot. i've cried to this album a lot. i love it a lot. there are only so many emotions a person can feel and this album resonates with them all. denseboy
