about

Loosely connected to my short story 'There are Easier Ways to Kill Yourself' which appeared in The Edinburgh Review. It mentions Porty beach, which features on the cover art.

lyrics

I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home at all
I drove my car into the sea at Portobello
And worst of all, I did it deliberately

I won't be around this summer
I won't be around at all
I drank myself into a hospital drama
And worst of all, I did it deliberately

I did it deliberately
I did it so we could be free from the lies
We tell to ourselves
Free to despise
The truth in ourselves

I won't be back for the funeral
I won't be back at all
I buried my heart in a box in the ocean
And worst of all, I did it deliberately
