about

Written in Chicago Illinois feeling quite far from home. Titled in Bloomington Indiana after performing an after hours drunken version to a gentleman named Paris.

lyrics

Time it seems to fade away
Like the songs my father used to play
Like the words my mother used to say
"Son don't ever grow to be this way."

And I know the seasons change and help me grow
And I just don't feel so young anymore
And my sister is far off on some dusty road
She's the only one I think could understand

Father forgive me for what I've done
I'm your son, I know I haven't been much of one
And mama I never meant to make you cry
Sometimes we do things and don't know why

And I know the drinkin' doesn't help me
Sometimes it's just my way of getting by
Drunk again, outside I laugh, inside I cry
And just can't go on living this way

Time it seems to slip away
Like the games as children we used to play
Like the words our mothers used to say
"Learn to love, then just give it all away."

And we're told, the seasons change to help us grow
But I just don't feel so young anymore
And my sister is far off on some dusty road
She's the only one I think could understand

The sun will rise and set again
And I know I'll always have a friend
Just as long as I keep playing silly songs
Somehow I know that I will get along

Inaiah Lujan Pueblo, Colorado

"Whether laying down some succulent psychotropic hip-hop as DJ Flow Nase, feeding off of severely distorted barre chords with the riff-heavy punk band A Poor Substitute, or lending distinctive vocal abilities to the peculiar and hypnotic "funeral pop" band The Mexican, Pueblo's Inaiah Lujan is plainly a restless soul."
