Song Lyric Excerpt by AC L

There’s raspberry stains on both my palms We’re talking about addiction or maybe God Or your pretentious taste in about everything Vegan lavender chapstick for the Utah winter breeze

You said that I’d do great in life

Once I got outta here and made up my mind But you didn’t mention the forgetting And the moving past it, like it never happened

You’re 25 and moving on And I’m crying listening to your favorite song

Sugarcoating can only get so sweet

til the original taste is buried underneath the layers of justification, romanticism

must’ve got the best of me
