Thanks so much for listening to this track! I wrote this about loss, and coping with loss in healthy and unhealthy ways. And moving forward. Really appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Lyrics
All these paper people, they're all counting beans
Don't know what it means, it's ugly and obscene.
And their plastic children, they're all holding hands,
They don't understand, what it is they've seen.
We're upside down.
And all these vellum women, so soft and serene,
They don't say a thing. They're not what they seem.
And when I saw you last night, thought you were a dream.
A pinch to wake me up, a pinch to help me sleep.
We're upside down.
Fall down, fall down my love
Have it all, domino, have you come back come back to your senses?
Fall down, fall down my love
Breathe it in, breathe it out, I'm smoking dancing stumbling home now.
And all these paper people, they're all counting beans
Don't know what it means, it's ugly and obscene.
When I saw you last night, I thought you were a dream.
A prince to wake you up, a pinch to help you scream.
We're upside down.
Fall down, fall down my love
Have it all, domino, I'm rolling rolling sombrero style
Fall down, fall down my love
Breathe it in, breathe it out can't close my eyes I'm spinning honey
Fall down, fall down my love
Have it all, domino, have you come back come back to your senses?
Fall down, fall down my love
But you're gone, you're gone, left me with this song to sing
