The Other Day While Walking Home I Ran Into a Girl Who Wasn't There Anymore

from The Memory Apparatus by Thylacinus

lyrics

Why do I smell burning plastic in the room?
Where is everybody else?
Can’t help myself but ask myself these questions whose answers frighten me like “who am I going to be when the asteroid strikes tomorrow?”
Every day that I wake up I try to go outside with a little less to hide than the day before.
Every day that I fall down I try to break the ground.
Cracks spread all around like they did before.
The other day while walking home I ran into a girl who wasn’t there anymore. She cast her shadow somewhere else and left to go away to somewhere else that she cannot remember.
“Everything is murky,” she said, “everything since last September.”

Why do I know how this show ends before I’ve even seen it? Are shows just predictable like that? No, I must have superpowers like future cognition. Whatcha think of that?
Every day that I wake up I try to go outside with a little less to hide than the day before.
Every day that I fall down I try to break the ground.
Cracks spread all around like they did before.
The other day while walking home I ran into a girl who wasn’t there anymore. She cast her shadow somewhere else and left to go away to somewhere else that she cannot remember.
“Everything is murky,” she said, “everything since last September.”

Thylacinus Portland, Oregon

Thylacinus: music and bad decisions. You likely heard of me from a soundtrack to a podcast, but I also make my own music from time to time.

The early stuff is pretty rough, but I keep it around as it's part of my history.
