lyrics

I’m trying to drink lots of water
I’m trying to let my hair grow
I’m trying to swallow my medicine
I’m trying to go with the flow
I'm trying to breathe through my triggers
I'm trying to not be so sure
I'm trying to check my privilege
I'm trying not to mourn the end of old worlds

I tried to think only nice things about me
I tried to keep only good folks around me
But trauma tried harder to fuck up the show
And I thought I loved me
But what did I know

I’m trying to get up in the morning
I’m trying to make lots of art
I’m trying to tell buds they're not bad
I’m trying to take care of my bipolar heart
I'm trying to be a good partner
I'm trying to be a sweet man
I'm trying to buttress my boundaries
I'm trying to be who my mom thinks I am

I tried to think only good things about me
I tried to keep only good folks around me
But trauma tried harder to fuck up the show
And I thought I loved me
But what did I know

Now a lot of white boys like to exercise their voice
Can't say much for mine, but if nothing else I apologize,
most folks don't have the choice to whine.

I’m eating cold pizza for breakfast
And putting out smokes on a plate
I’m staying up late watching old Simpsons
Or drinking with people that I kinda hate
It don’t matter much what I’m trying to do
I tried to get over but I'm still going through
Cuz trauma tries harder to fuck up the show
But I'll try to love me
And we'll see how it goes

Fletcher Coulee Minneapolis, Minnesota

Banished to the land of wind and ghosts, Fletcher Coulee spent 2020 holed up in the hull of a ship wrecked by stupidity and prejudice. Voices came from behind closed doors, even light had to knock. After a year, they emerged with long gray hair and a button on their face that said, "PLAY." Everybody had lost so much. No one asked them to, but Fletcher went looking anyway. ... more
