lyrics

Making fog in the bathroom is easy
forgetting myself on the shore;
trying to keep this salt water from meeting
that salt water is difficult

Can only get through the day if I convince myself
I never knew you

So I forget you in the deli aisle
I forget you at the closest gas station
I forget you like the back of my hand
and I forget you as I fill up the porcelain tub
and I forget you more and more and I am glad

Making way for the morning to wander in
and take my place in the arm chair
Taking time for the cobwebs to settle
on my cheeks before I get out of bed

Can only get through the hour if I convince myself
I never knew you
I get so good at forgetting the past year and a half;
every barista is on my side!

I forget you through venetian blinds
I forget you in the airport viewing area
I forget you on the stairs in the nighttime
and I forget you as I cut someone else's hair
and I forget you more and more and I am glad

and I am glad I never knew you

about

Nika Mo Perth, Australia

Making and performing on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Melancholy-folk that makes the Perth mundane sound somewhat poetic.
