Vacation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t smoke weed anymore. I used to smoke daily. A lot of people have this story. “Yeah, I just stopped one day; I got too paranoid.” Like a light going out, it just didn’t bring the same joy it once did.

Chasing a cryptid of our own delusion. An amalgamation of taste, our way of life, our way of being with each other. When I listen back to the finished song, I don’t hear those things anymore.
