MR Suburban Coyote Original Audio Cover

Happy New Year !!!

we packed last year in a cardboard box

labeled fragile confidence inside

stable as a shopping cart with one bad wheel

we laughed and pushed it anyway

we sat on the floor with confetti in our socks

making a list to prove we changed

official enough to scare the law

but written on the back of a pizza note

we tried to rely on memory

but memory runs a petting zoo

wild facts chewing the fence

while dignity hides in the gift shop

last year left a trail

breadcrumbs made of banana peels

every step a rerun

every fall a highlight reel

we said next year will be clean

then added footnotes

then more notes

then notes about the notes

the base was hope

the stem was chaos

the shine was accidental

were putting it away

not deleting

just filing it sideways

rewind the tape till it squeaks

then launch it gently into the maybe

upside down logic

last second wisdom

minutes past midnight laughing at us

we look forward while moonwalking

moving forward backwards

we broke a personal record

for quickest plan to fall apart

tried to be human on a schedule

missed it by a minute and a half

brought a ball to a serious moment

said it was for balance

the ball disagreed

rolled out

came back

demanded a raise

we learned quick

dignity is not a fast animal

it sleeps in

and hates group projects

we said this is not us anymore

which grammatically felt wrong

not is became is not

and somehow that helped

add courage

subtract panic

stem the spiral before it gets ideas

we treated cooking like a suggestion based law

treated plans like abstract art

followed the list

then followed the trail

then followed a duck for no reason

the zoo applauded

we bowed

proved nothing

learned plenty

yeah aye aye(yeah aye aye)

moving forward backwards

we said this year wed be sharp

then poured coffee into a shoe

said growth hurts

forgot it also slips

we tried to rely on momentum

but momentum relies on gravity

and gravity has a sense of humor

especially around stairs

were putting it away

folded

folded

moving

moving

moving forward backwards

were putting it away

not burying it

just retiring it

last year ran its route

dropped the ball

set a record anyway

now we look ahead

upside down

smiling

stable enough to wobble on purpose

we dont prove the future

we meet it

quick or not

human or trying

we step forward

dragging humor behind us

because if the past comes knocking

well answer politely

and put it back in the box

moving forward backwards

moving forward backwards

moving forward backwards

we dont prove the future

we meet it

quick or not

human or trying

we step forward

dragging humor behind us

because if the past comes knocking

well answer politely

and put it back in the box

moving forward backwards

moving forward backwards

moving forward backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!
