The wind blew against
my face as I inhaled
a taste which told me that
I'm not welcome here
I watched as everyone
ungratefully breathed in
what wasn't theirs to have
and I know they knew it
I hope that you
all don't suffocate
from taking the air
out of this place
I seem to put in
more than I receive
trading oxygen
for all your selfish needs
cause I'm afraid you
all will suffocate
from taking the air
out of this place
by your deep breaths
that fill your selfish lungs
to speak sharp words that
cut your own tongues
The new album from L.A.’s Wayne Everett leans heavily into shimmery California pop, songs centered around beatific melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2020
