about

Before I knew it, I had so many B-Sides and curiosities I decided to invent an alter ego: Eric Claptop (and his band, the Pretentious Pretenses)

This was the first song I wrote around an organ part.

lyrics

i'm trying to forgive myself i never thought i'd still be alive
i'm trying to forgive myself i never thought i'd still be alive
it never turns out the way it was meant to be
it never does
and i feel so denied

It's been a long voyage
so i'm only gonna say this once
i'm not meant for this world
clearly not made for your touch

three years is a long time, but longer if you're not alive
three years is a long time, but longer if you're not alive

i'm not going back to canada
i'm not going back to the way i used to be
depression struck a permanent angle on me
couldn't you tell her?
couldn't you tell her?

i'm trying to forgive myself i never thought i'd still be alive
i'm trying to forgive myself i never thought i'd still be alive
