about

‘Whores’ was written at a time when I felt like I wasn’t in control of my own life.

It seems we’re all tied to obligations that prevent us from enjoying and living our lives the way we could. We’re preoccupied with the wrong things and sacrificing what we love for superfluities that our culture has decided we ’need.’

‘Whores’ is a song about helplessness, a disenchanted cry from one amongst the many in the face of a world in which we are perpetually out of place, where systems outside of our control rob us of even the simplest beauty.

Through the lens of the song, we’re all whores; we’re all selling ourselves in this life.

lyrics

I'm a wily thing
Tied to many strings
If you pull one wrong
I might go off on you
But what can I do?
I'm stuck inside the same machine as you
Could you tell me how it works
I'm always the one who gives in first

I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Soft skin glistening but their eyes have tears to hide
I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Hey man, we're all selling ourselves in this life

And there's nothing worse
than finding yourself burned
by a life of lessons learned wrong
what have they been teaching us all along

I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Soft skin glistening but their eyes have tears to hide
I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Hey man, we're all selling ourselves in this life

I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Soft skin glistening but their eyes have tears to hide
I'm thinking 'bout whores in the sunshine
Hey man, we're all selling ourselves in this life
