about

In February of 2019, I had a lung biopsy to see if my cancer was back. This song was born on the day before an appointment with my thoracic surgeon in which I expecting to receive the test results. In my mind, I had been calling the day "D Day" for a week or so. D for diagnosis. D for deadline. D for disaster. D for discovery.

lyrics

day before D day

it's the day before D Day and how do i feel?
like anything is possible
i had the chance to do it over and i did it
i did it different
but that doesn't make it better
it doesn't make it click
cuz i still don't feel like i am legit

my pencil lead's broken and hanging on like a loose tooth
but i'll drag it across the paper just to write down the truth
i see smoke on the horizon
my house is on fire
but at least it will keep me warm tonight

oh, oh, so i will open the door
cuz i want more
i want more

the morning doves are screaming at me
like Leonard C from the grave
i wish i knew what they were saying but i can't translate
and it's getting so crowded in here
it's hard to breathe
solipsism's so lonely when everyone is me

oh, oh, so i will open the door
cuz i want more
oh, oh, oh i will open the door
cuz i still want more
i want more

i want more courage, more time
more dinner, more wine
more souvenirs
yeah, i'll have another beer
more freedom, more fire
more peach, more desire
more tears
if it brings me more years
more coffee, more tea
more you and more me
more us, more us, more us
more patience
please

and more tacos
and more chocolate

cuz i still want more
i want more
