the curse is breaking i haven’t seen you for a while hello my old friend i guess it’s nice to see you smile i hear you’re better i hear you stitched yourself a bit do you remember the days i almost up and quit the life i’m leading christ we were just stupid kids we were young we were bold now we do what we’re told no more borges no more zinn no more bergman or korine i may have lost count of all the nicotine inhaled and all the late nights the seventh seal our holy grail i hope you miss me when you’re out on a winter’s night i’ll pour out to decades of us putting up a fight

about

7 songs about boxers, atrial fibrillation, and facing the void.

"I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches...and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible to see your opponent is you."—Joyce Carol Oates
