This song is called "Penicillin I" because Ethan had group C strep throat during the entire vocal tracking process and was taking prescribed Penicillin in order to avoid death. The song is about other things.
lyrics
Is this real?
'Cause I cant feel a thing
Numb again
And i can only see the end
Of a dream
Pretty colors on repeat
All I know (please take me)
Is my way home (please save me)
But its too far (please take me)
To call my own (please save me)
I just want to be
tied and thrown to sea
Then I wake up and I realize I'm nothing again (it's alright)
picking myself up and throwing me out in the end (give it time)
I just want to be (to grow and destroy and then build and then break and then bend)
tied and thrown to sea (and lose all I love and know that it works out in the end)
Here i am
Still broken but the same
silhouette
Casting shadows with a
single breath
And all that can see is
winter's end
Muddy sleigh bells and cigarettes
Then I wake up and I realize I'm nothing again (it's alright)
picking myself up and throwing me out in the end (give it time)
I just want to be (to grow and destroy and then build and then break and then bend)
tied and thrown to sea (and lose all I love and know that it works out in the end)
