about

this is a stripped down version of a song called Cheery Menthol from my other band, Swordfish.

We do something more upbeat with the song, but I believe that this version does it more justice.

lyrics

i think it's terrifying
i think it is quite scary
that as the seasons change my breath it goes to menthol cherry
ive got an IV of black coffee and my throats too sore to smoke
yet i romanticize the two because it makes me feel composed
im power washing paint
to prepare for new coats
im buying salt to season pavement
ive been layering my clothes
the winters harsh on warm bodies
my heart's still pumping heat

i want to watch fightclub with your dad again on dvd

i want you to hit me as hard as you can
i want it to hurt i want to feel like the man
that my father intended on taking his name
creating a family and filling his frames

ive got paintings on the wall with artist's names i can't pronounce
you know that when I write these songs I get caught up in the pronouns
it's the way that I write these things that I feel that lets me step back and

say that
youre being dramatic
misanthropy is trite
write a happy song for once
well i think that i might
im putting postage on bad poetry
im too afraid to send

i want to watch fightclub with your dad again

i want you to hit me as hard as you can
i want it to hurt i want to feel like the man
that my father intended on taking his name
creating a family and filling his frames
