about

A re-do of a song on the first Area resident album (2016) written while my mother was in her final weeks.

lyrics

It's still surreal and I don't know why
And I don't want to go back in time
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't wanna close my eyes

Holy hell and holy days
Wholly fond of you
You

You turned your head and I stole your smokes
Let my youth be my hope
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't wanna close my eyes

Holy hell and holy days
Wholly fond of you
Holy hell and holy days
I'm losing you

I can still hear you laughing
Over by the sink cleaning ashtrays
But I'm scared
So scared
Lying at the bottom of the big bed
The numbers on the clock are flipping
But I'm scared
I'm so scared

Holy hell and holy days
