golden age found me when i was living in a trailer in tampa bay after running from a really shitty situation. i remember thinking it was the most beautiful song i had ever heard, so i played it on repeat with the screen door open - sweeping the floors of this little RV and walking outside to feel the sand underneath my feet. the distant ocean breeze, the sunshine, the solitude - was absolutely unmatched.

but one of these days, it'll come right back, i'll get over myself and I'll tell myself that i don't have to wait to be happy when i'm old. and that one of these days, i'll find a way to fight the waves, embrace the pain and paint the ages a hundred shades of gold...
