The Letterjay

by J. Kyle Pittman

/

lyrics

Oh! What a waste! I’ve been erased, I’ve been complacent
I’ve been complicit, maybe don’t listen to a word I say
Oh! What a shame! I used to fly so close to the flame
And now I’m burning through the panes and proxies every day

Ready set let’s go, second verse same as the first:
So much undue heartache o’er the letterjay

Rest easy on the right side of the wind
Rest easy on the right side of the wind
My final act is set in stone:
Back to basics, back to bones
Rest easy on the right side of the wind

Oh! I’ve been stranded! Lost for years in some forgotten mire
Relegated to the rank and vile
Oh! To the Aether! I’d commit and I’d commiserate
The fiction follows the form I failed to fake

Ready set let’s go, second verse same as the first:
So much undue heartache o’er the letterjay

Rest easy on the right side of the wind
Rest easy on the right side of the wind
My final act is set in stone:
Back to basics, back to bones
Rest easy on the right side of the wind

Feels like gravity’s long been waging war on levity
(Now losing the fight)
Feels like a cool breeze coming in
Feels like Friday

Feels like gravity’s long been waging war on levity, yeah
(Now losing the fight)
Feels like a cool breeze coming in
Feels like Friday

There are times for tales for two
But not for me
Guess all I can do is

Rest easy on the right side of the wind
Rest easy on the right side of the wind
My final act is set in stone:
Back to basics, back to bones
Rest easy on the right side of the wind

Oh!
