the fool when you think it's about to end but it's really just the beginning caught circling a tired loop stuck looping in a ring of fire but if i could take my own advice i'd probably be just fine if i could take my own advice i'd move my home away from here your mother's tired eyes you see them in the mirror your father's empty silence that's something for another time but if i could take my own advice i'd probably be just fine if i could take my own advice i'd move my home away from here i'd move my home away

about

oh boy, with this one. originally recorded under the moniker of mickey moon, "pink eyes" eventually became poor horse's debut album. it's a break-up record, to be sure, considering it was recorded in a closet at the end of the worst romantic relationship of my life. i was in a terrible headspace as I was writing and recording the songs: I don't think I've ever been so unhappy in my life, before or since, and my depression shows on bleak tunes like "shattered headlights," "the fool," and "absolutely the end." most every track on this album was recorded with a bullet in my gut, and because of that, "pink eyes" is an irreplicable, albeit flawed, document of longing and internal struggle.
