about

A REPRISE OF 'IT'S IN THE BLOOD' BY MILDRED (xmildredx.bandcamp.com/track/its-in-the-blood)

RECORDED IN THE BASEMENT OF CFP IN SPRINGFIELD IL IN AUGUST 2021

lyrics

INVASIVE AND NAUSEOUS I'D RATHER GO HOME
THAN BE STUCK ON THIS BED NEXT TO YOU, ALL ALONE
AS MY FACE TURNS PALE, AND I LOOK AWAY
YOU TURN AROUND AND ASK IF I'M OKAY

"I DON'T KNOW"
SO I'LL GO SMOKE AWAY ALL THESE FEELINGS AFTER TELLING MYSELF THIS TIME'S ENOUGH
BUT I WON'T GIVE UP THAT NOW CAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO COPE

TIRED AND READY TO GIVE IT ALL UP
WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS, SEEMS THE TRIGGER GOT STUCK
WITH MY MIND BURIED INWARD, LIKE THAT'S SAFE PLACE TO HIDE
MARINATED IN ALL THE BAD IDEAS I'VE LEFT BEHIND

"I DON'T KNOW"
SO I WON'T. I"LL JUST STAY HOME TONIGHT AND WATCH WRESTLING OR SOMETHING APROPO
THIS SHIT'S A JOKE, AND I'VE BEEN THE DAMN PUNCHLINE FOR LIKE, 23 YEARS IN A ROW

I HAD IT, I LOST IT
AND I MUST HAVE DROPPED IT
ON THE WAY TO THIS PARTY THAT'S ALREADY STARTED
I DON'T MEAN TO WHINE, OR WASTE YOUR TIME
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO WITH MINE

I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE I STAND
I JUST NEED SOME TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT
