about

This song is about habits, vices, hiding in yourself, and trying to break through all of that while being gentle and kind.

lyrics

Well, if wine just makes you sad
Why do you drink?
And if folksongs feel so good
How come you don’t sing?
And if voicemails make you angry
Then why do you call back?
If colors make you happy
Why do you wear black?

If parties make you nervous
Why do you go?
If you only read the headlines
How do you know?
And if you feel so defensive
Then why do you attack?
If colors make you happy
Why do you wear black?

Creature of habit
I know ya too well
And you think it’s easier
With all that comfort
But I know ya too well

And you still got the itch
Even when you scratch
You slam the door
But you don’t close the latch
And the light is overwhelming
Even just through the cracks
If colors make you happy
Why do you wear black?

Creature of habit
I know ya too well
And you think it’s easier
With all that comfort
But I know ya too well

And I know
That you’re serious about this
And I know
If you were here with us
You’d wanna talk things out

So c’mon, c’mon

Creature of habit
I know ya too well
And you think it’s easier
With all that comfort
But I know ya too well
I know ya too well

Well, if God just makes you mad
Why do you pray?

And if you hate California

Then why do you stay?
And if love can only break ya
How is anyone still intact?
If colors make you happy

Why do you wear black?

Mackin The Destroyer Los Angeles, California

One time I snuck out of summer camp to see The Postal Service 10th Anniversary show at The Greek. I bought a grilled cheese and a beer with a fake ID. I ate, drank, and cried alone. It fucking rocked.
