about

I wasn’t going to do a songfight, but I chronically wear vests all the time and it’s my thing.

Looking back, I'm not sure why I won this, and there’s many other, better songs that I really liked and was proud of (looking at you Cloud Cuckoo). I’ve grown to like this since then—but I guess it's about the FEEL of a thing. This was all recorded, mixed, and mastered in a large walk in closet on my old MacBook--before the Air or the Pro existed. I remember saying the typing at the beginning was part of the plot and I had this whole Scenario planned, and that was actually true as well—but rewriting this song bio in 2022/3ish, I can’t remember the Story!

lyrics

All the girls they love you
love you love you love you
precious piece of clothing
the way you hold my skin...

the way you adorn me
they all wanna be like me
they all wanna be
the prettiest vest in the vest factory

but if they knew me
knew me knew me
they would know I am lost
if all your precious seamstresses could
see see see see
the cost

they would see right through me
their mouths would gasp
like the little fishes
and they'd be lost
...lost lost
just like me

CH
in this silent scream
trapped in these seams
trapped in the seams of the
vest factory
trapped like the way that you hold me
so very straitjacketdly

no..
they would know know
they would know know
they'd would know for sure, for sure
that I am quite, quite alone
and they would be
they would be, they would be,
sorry.. so so so so
sorry
of all my lack of control..
and they would know
that I've got nothing -
so, so?

CH
they would know me
in this silent scream
trapped in between
these dreams
the seams of the
vest factory
trapped so straitjacketdly
trapped so straitjacketdly

BR
i have a waistcoat, I call it a vest
It's kinda light green, and actually I have three or four
they're kinda my thing I'm known for
well, that and avoiding …
all the issues of course
not following prompts / I put my hands in my pockets

CH
and yeah, I scream
so silently
in between the seams
trapped straightjacketly
I'm lost, I'm lost, I lost
in these streams
trapped so straitjacketdly
drowning, drowning, drowning….

in the factory
of you … and me
