lyrics
last time that i saw you
both hands in the dirt
asking for a photograph
a picture you did not deserve
oh but i was just a placeholder
a lesson to be learned
oh i was just a placeholder
a place you will return
last time that i heard your voice
words i couldn’t comprehend
as a thousand years of feedback
screaming in my head
oh but i was just a placeholder
exchange for what you had
oh i was just a placeholder
a tension you retract
ahh ah ah ah
curious i came to you
you wordlessly ignored
as i stumbled psychically upon a truth i could not afford
oh but i was just a placeholder
a place and nothing more
oh i was just a placeholder with nothing to stand for
this is where i doubted you,
and endless compromise
to say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies
oh but now you are the placeholder
blinded by desire
oh now you’re just a placeholder for someone wasting time
ahha ah ahahaa

i've listened to this album religiously since 2022..something about the whimsy and nostaligia its able to encapsulate in every lyric and song has brought me so much comfort since its release. big thief is like a big warm blanket for your soul. southdadejuke
