Onlychildblues was the first follow up to my debut album Feel Everything and Rebirth. This song further follows the passing of my grandmother. One of the first audible lines “I was my nana’s favorite” clearly marks the relationship I held with her. The song shows the self destructive nature followin...
[Intro]
And I drive slower
When I smell the salt
Rest on my shoulder
Before the dark
Look at my hands now
They’ve hit a wall
Look at my eyes now
I can’t see at
[Verse]
Only child blues
I was my nanas favorite
Call me if your able
Feeling unstable
I’m eating dinner my bodies under the table
I rest my feet on my back
Feel unravel
My beanies in the trash cause it unraveled
I can hear the kettle rattle
I don’t meddle in the saddle
I’m driving now so
Hold on to your ugh
Forgot my beanies gone
Don’t call me I’m good
It’s back and forth
Pass the fourth
No pass the fifth
Don’t pass the five
I’m headed south
Passenger side
Don’t know who I’m with
I’m reading the Bible I stole from your house
Believe what it’s saying I still mess around
Don’t confess don’t stress the sound
My radios on but it’s crackling now
I got my life in my hands let go
The wheels got a plan
[Chorus]
Camel blues
My lungs feel loose
I fall through
'Fore I come too
In my view
I’m gone too soon
Only child -
[Verse 2]
Street lamps light the way
I’m afraid
Cause I don’t know if I’ll get paid
I lose my brain
When I’m eating dinner
Could feel me in it
My bodies on the plate
Then I’m gone without a trace
You miss your [bleep] don’t ya? (don't ya, don't ya)
Coulda told you that before the vultures
Pick at my skull
Wishing I was dull
Null and void my license
Send your well wishes along
(send, send)
[Bridge]
And I drive slower
When I smell the salt
Rest on my shoulder
Before the dark
Look at my hands now
They’ve hit a wall
Look at my eyes now
I can’t see at
[Chorus](x2)
Camel blues
My lungs feel loose
I fall through
Before I come too
In my view
I’m gone too soon
Only child blues
Choking on you
