Palo Santo - Telethon

I was in a bad way

Burned some palo santo to see

Why every day felt wasted and everything meant nothing to me

Saw an ad in the window

At the CBD store that just opened

At the cross street of Ralston and Buford

Only $ 8.95 for a bundle, it said

It’d calm my immune system

Clear out my head

So, I paid

Something about the sky’s shade of blue

Got me in the mood

To start the figuring out

The first time i tried was that night

But I couldn’t find a light

So frustrated i tossed it aside and got high

And watched footage of Blur playing shit off of «13»

From 1998-or-9

The next day I got it right away

Like the start of a joke

And i waved it around

Until the room filled up with smoke

And I sat and I basked in the glow of a stick in a bowl

For a half hour or so, I sat and watched a stick burn in a bowl

When it burnt out I smiled.

I was satisfied

Tied the rest of the bundle up

And tucked it in a shoebox i’ve kept

For a long time, a long time

That I might as well finally uncap a Sharpie and label

«Artifacts Of Figuring It Out»

Life felt a little different until it, well, didn’t again

Give the city time and you’ll find the city isn’t your friend

Life felt a little different until it, well, didn’t again

Give the city time and you’ll find the city isn’t your friend

I was in a bad way

Burned some palo santo to see

Why every day felt wasted and everything meant nothing to me
