about

I tried to write a country song. Egan said I had to use the words "faded smile" and "cardboard" so this is what ended up happening.

lyrics

I watched you tire, a flickering spindly thing.
Thought you rust but you're patina.
And all of our anchors were expectations
I watched you fade along with your smile.

I am a cardboard cutout, cutout from you
and I'm ruined when I'm viewed apart from you.

Your apple doesn't fall far from the family tree 'cause your father will not let you, will not let you leave.
