    i lost hope on the east coast
    and maybe im tired of you
    running your mouth
    and maybe i don’t have the guts
    to spell it out
    and maybe i want you to
    hurt my brain
    and baby when you go
    where you go
    i don’t wanna know
    when you go, where you go
    dont tell me so
    and i lost hope on the east coast
    im a big fan of a rock band
    you’ll never understand
    i got big plans for a small man
    you’ll never understand

    Something I've never seen someone mention is how many pictures of Alex g there are. He's everywhere, in every haircut and stage of life. He's like a shapeshifter but somehow you can always tell its him when you see him.

    This song is very nostalgic for me. It wasn’t too long ago, but a lot has happened since I first heard this song. I used to listen to it on walks through the woods near my house, I’d walk for ages then find my cosy little spot up on these graffitied brick blocks. It was quite high up, so I had to climb. I can picture it all now, those were such nice times. I could see the whole woods from where I’d sit, and I’d just sit there, listening to the stream below me. It’ll always be a core memory for me.

    June of 2020, im living in LA and i come out to my parents as transgender. they dont take it well and kick me out of the house. I have one friend at the time, a gay guy living up in Maine. I took an offer to fly over to his place for shelter as I would rather that than be homeless in Cali. My time so far on the east coast hasnt been great, i was kicked out by this "friend" and developed a fent addiction while living on the streets of portland maine. after 2 and a half years of that bullshit and a couple close calls with death, this year I got clean, went to a psych ward, got medicated for some of my issues, went to rehab, moved to massachusets and im now being housed at a trade school. I dont like to look back on those times but whenever i hear this song it reminds me of that era of my life, i listened to this a lot in rehab.

    idk where the disconnect is but i dont think anyone would be that sad if i was gone like ik theyd be sad for a while but i cant imagine it lasting or having that big of an impact i like things i like doing things but its kinda just a means to an end i want to get better i think i do at least but im tired its crazy to me how we as a society have come to care so much about mental health and help people and i like that i want people to get the help they need and deserve but idk i just want it to be over i cant see myself being that successful as an adult idk whats wrong but ik its something but it feels like i was just kinda born this way like smthing in me was off from the day i was born
