Philip Goth
You Don’t Know What I’ve Been Through Bro / My Debut Novel
Double A-side April 30

"...a light, fragile feel...expertly carved..."
-LOUDER THAN WAR

lyrics

My eyes look like I spent a lifetime
vacuuming casinos cuz
my mom bough ‘em from a waitress
who ripped them out of her first husband’s face. It’s
payback for that time he slapped her sister’s ass
after a bad run in Keno
She spent the money on a flat screen
bought some toilet paper and paper napkins
and the last installment of her mother’s chemo

After I finish my debut novel, American Misery
I’ll hang myself in an Air BnB in Tivoli
and all the crickets sang

I’ll do anything for money now mhm oh
(Repeat)

I’ll do anything
Do anything
Oh no

I’ve been stripping wallpaper on a foreclosed house
all the live long day
They missed the last bank payment
long after mom OD’ed in the basement
Now I get thirteen bucks an hour
scraping off the last of her flowers
I wish the rent was heaven sent cuz
pennies from hell smell like
they were soaked in pig’s blood
Now the wall where she marked her kids’ height
is death like heavenly white

After my daughter sells
the rights to my novel, American Misery
She’ll duet with her dead dad
singing the night is full of mystery
and all the crickets sang

I’ll do anything for money now mhm yeah
I’ll do anything for money now mhm oh
(Repeat)

I’ll do anything
Do anything
Do anything
Do anything

I’ve been stripping the wallpaper on foreclosed house
all the live long day
