lyrics

On my first week in Montreal I saw A cat getting flattened by a car. It wasn’t the best week of my life so far. But other than that flat cat corpse in the road, other than the climate warping and folding in on itself all around me, I feel pretty good. I can’t deny there’s a certain joy in being young and half employed in a city that does not know your name. I can’t deny there’s a certain joy in being young and half employed in a city that cannot hold you to anything.In my first week in Montreal, I watched the lightning crawl across the sky of my new apartment. If that’s how it is, then that’s how it is. We all just flash for a couple years then we fade back into the loose, unruly darkness. But even so there’s a certain joy in waking up in the curtain of noise that the city drapes across it’s frame. I can’t deny there’s a certain joy in being young and unemployed in a city that cannot hold you to anything.
