about

a song about mental illness & negative self perception, knowing how i want to be but having a hard time getting there

i feel like a black cat, don't cross my path

the riff/progression of this song came to me in a dream

lyrics

BOXING JIM

judy, i'm scary
so don't cross me
we're not talking lately,
you're out with your friends,
and i'm walking by with elliott
through sidewalk scenes again
everytime i crawl past them now
i feel like a black cat

& i know, i know
i can't change that right now,
someday i'll know how
and give it back everywhere i can

rudy, i get angry
and call you the wrong names
i'm not good at love,
i never said i was a saint
but you want me to do better
you didn't ask me to grow wings
then i called you by that moniker
while you packed up all your things

& i know, i know
i can't change that right now,
someday i'll know how
to give it back everywhere i can

& give it back everywhere i can
