I wrote this song while listening to a lot of AJJ and learning to play in 6/8 time. I always heard it in my head with lots of big drums and tribal feels. Lyrically it is 4 verses that are loosely connected by a sense of never being settled in the world but wishing I could find my own version of belonging.
lyrics
I will regret this moment at the end of my life
not just this one but I'm sure it will be involved
quietly reminding me of all the time I waste
I will regret this moment when I die
Ive been a ghost since the day I was born
my teeth fell out long before that
but you put me in a basket and you took me for you own
and I pray to God youll never throw me back
my legs are strong enough to start walking
westward straight into the setting sun
I tried my best to settle in, the alarm clock drove me away
now these debts and gravity keep me in my place
so bury me under the things that I regret
and put this song on the very top
there is nothing I hate more than the way I think
I hope someday we all can forgive me

A dear friend, Sean H, helped me fix one line in this song. Guess the line and I'll give you my shoes.
