The Thickering
Challenge: MADE-UP WORDSLiner Notes
Lyrics
Last night, I died again Woke up in the morning in the same old skin I try to shed it, and shed it (It) just grows back thicker than thin
Last night, I tried again Tell you our old stories, sing the same old spins But you’ve been gone for years, now I'm just pouring tonic in an old gin
Last night, I cried again (But it's) a dry grief now just one tear tumbleweeds in Then there's nothing left Just cement top cement one more layering
(Cuz) It's thickening, this thickering, A slow black it pours back Can't push forever baby Some days it wins
The thickering The thickering Some days I win Fewer now Someday it'll settle in
The thickering
(Someday it wins)

Great heart in this song. I'm glad you keep on trudging through the rough parts despite it sometimes winning. You got this!
Thanks @mcfunkypants ! Appreciate the listen. Looking fwd to hearing the cello!
"Last night, I died again" might just be one of the most compelling opening lines to a song I've heard in a long time.
