i need to actually make a playlist for erstwhile dear. anyway. “the pretender” by jackson browne goes in the a-yao section in case anyone was wondering
#untamed stuff#he's going to build himself a house in the shade of the freeway#he's going to pack his lunch in the morning and go to work each day#and when the evening roles around he'll go on home and lay his body down#and when the morning light comes streaming in he'll get up and do it again#out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender (a-yao) who knows that#all his hopes and dreams begin and end here#tear at the world with all his might while the ships bearing his dreams#sail out of sight#find himself a girl who can show him what laughter means and fill in the#missing colors in his paint by number dreams#trying his best to impersonate a happy idiot struggling for the legal tender#and believing in whatever may lie in those things that money can buy#say a prayer for the pretender who started out so young and strong only#to surrender#it just. i really did that to him didn't i lol
