lyrics

I know how hard it was. I was so selfish and young. Now you're nothing but a stump, I'm an old bag of bones. I've been roaming for so long, all I want is to sit down. I have seen the tallest mountains, I have sailed the deepest oceans. I've been looking for my home, but it was here all along.
You are happy, you are kind. You were there for me all the time. Everything that did you for me, how could I treat you horribly. Sitting here so happily, we fit together perfectly. You are my family. I am because you're happy.
And I'm not so sure if you can forgive me, but I've changed. I've matured and aged. And I want to make you happy.
I've turned you into a pathetic mound, a damn lump someone will trip on.
But if you allow me a place to sit I will fend off the termites in our last days. I've never been too aware of my mortality, but I accept it.
I want to end where I began, with you.
You are my greatest friend.

with the infusion of friends’ idears, influence, and overall assistance, it wouldn’t be fair to keep putting it all under the porch of “matt aspinwall”. so “black lake” it is.
