I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
What do people write songs about anyway
I can't say anything anymore
Let's make this track and
Send it back and
Compress it to mp3 and
Put it on Bandcamp, or Spotify, or Instagram
It doesn't matter anymore
I started too late
So now I'm standing here in the shower
And it's already been an hour
And I'm recording take after take of me
Mumbling into my phone
These lyrics don't mean anything
These tracks have never meant anything
I don't know why you're listening at all

And when you hear a note, you don't hear it
You just imagine you're the one with the guitar

Please be safe
I don't know where you'll be
When the track ends
Please be safe
I don't know where you'll be
When the album ends
And I know it's been a while since you've left the house
And I know it's been a while since you've seen the sun
Please be safe
I don't know where you'll be
When the album ends
So please be safe
I'm right here with all of your
Split-speaker friends
The past hour with you has been great

It sounds different because you're different
Every stone is a stepping stone
And I don't know who you are anymore
or where you've been
or what you call yourself now
or how you sound
Every stone is a stepping stone, don't get run over
concrete runs over the street, fills in dents, stick your hands in there and you'll last a decade
You didn't even last a few months back when we knew each other
This isn't a breakup song, because we were never romantically involved, And
And I say "you" as a general "you", i don't want to get too specific
I want the listener to place themselves
into the lyrics of this track
so that it's relatable
so that I can rack up more listens
and eventually purchase Luke Vibert merch
(an artist that I hadn't even heard of when we knew each other)
And we never broke up, we weren't brittle enough
We only bent ourselves out of the way
slowly crumbled
dispersed into the wind, or
More realistically, into hebrew schools, homeschooling, public school, a different discord server
I realize that most of the relationships I have are based on circumstance, but it's okay
I was emblematic of one period of your life, whether it was several years or one year or a few months or just a week, whether it was a good time or bad time for you
and you either have to pause for a few seconds to try to remember my name now, or I've dissolved into the background noise of your memories, and it's okay, it's all okay
I'm part of you now, and you're part of me, and we've always been parts of each other
You'll never see that license plate ever again
or that person crossing the street, probably
or that person commenting gibberish on a news article
But you saw them, under those circumstances, and that's a one-in-a-billion opportunity,
and now they've dissolved into the background noise of your memories, alongside all of the other license plates, pedestrians, and commenters
and now they're part of you- and maybe you're part of them, too,
Because every stone is a stepping stone,
and one day you'll get all the parts,
you'll reach the destination
and you'll dissolve into the background noise of the world,
Trust me
when I say that
you should be very happy about this
thank you very much, I'll be seeing you. thank you for listening or reading this, it means a lot
