lyrics

I found a kind of calling
In villages East and West
It happened when I realized
I'm the one who knows best

It's like trying to open a door
That's literally made of keys
Or catching the rabbit in your eyes
By letting it do as it pleases

And just knowing that life sucks
It really does, it's true
It sucks, and I'm so happy to share that with you
Because it doesn't even matter, you see
Beauty is an earwax that collects between trees

Life sucks
It really does, it's true
It sucks, and I'm so happy to say that to you
Because it doesn't even matter, you see
Beauty comes as bowling balls on tailwinds of bees

I was thinking about this the other day
But I didn't want to tell you
I've always hated being tickled
And if you don't really share my view
Well that's okay, it's not like grass will change its color
Or that TV show will suffocate on air

You know it takes a special person to patch another's fabric x2

'Cause life sucks
It really does, it's true
It sucks, even if you have a soul with a view
And if you accept the offer I am making you
Life can suck for two
Life can suck for two

Octopus dreams, not what they seem
Low on the blues, high on esteem
Dancing in Braille, to no avail
Forgive forget, joy on a scale x2

But I feel like I am closer
I may not even actually be literally closer
But I feel like I am closer ... to it

Kate Koenig Brooklyn, New York

Kate Koenig is a very hungry experimental folk caterpillar that eats Fleet Foxes’ progressivism and Kate Bush's iconoclasticism and Jeff Buckley’s zeal and Nick Drake’s disenchantment, and is still eating while you read this bio. They are also a fierce advocate for mental health awareness, which comes out in the deeply personal, introspective theater of their music. ... more
