lyrics

I dig my feet in deep
I make the rivers move
I wrote this in my sleep
this beat is…
they say it’s toil and reap
I play it win or lose
same as it ever was

last week I bumped into this dude I used to
go to school with
hadn’t seen him in a sec
said he moved around the way trying to make a name, all he made was a mess
this world like the weight around his neck
anyway, how you Sims?
where you going, where you headed,
where you been?
what direction you in, have you been with the wind at your back?
are you still laying tracks? still playing with fire?
has it burnt you back?
still carrying that old axe? I thought you’d bury that
are you still going in the same circle in the state where it rains purple
is it working, was it worth it, what you earning, slow burner?
you know I heard you had a taste of the
charmed life,
what’s your ego and karma like?
tell me what’s it like from that height,
you thought it was right when you left us behind?
I’m still here locked in the same old spot
same old slate and chalk and the rain that washes
I told him ain’t no stopping man, push that rock


I dig my feet in deep
I make the rivers move
I wrote this in my sleep
this beat is…
they say it’s toil and reap
I play it win or lose
same as it ever was

the same life in stage light ain’t as bright
when it’s you
ain’t they nice when they like what you’re doing?
the same love that they lust and they want
but can’t touch
they judge through the hush, keep on moving

the same life in stage light ain’t as bright
when it’s you
ain’t they nice when they like what you’re doing?
the same love that they lust and they want
but can’t touch
through the rush or the hush, keep on moving

about

Sims Minneapolis, Minnesota

Life and loss and dance parties. Sex and love and fractal math. Sims wrote More Than Ever last winter in the wake of some personally trying times: death and sickness in his immediate circle of friends and family. And he decided that the only acceptable answer to big loss is big joy—urgent, defiant, unapologetic joy. ... more
