Matt & Jun - Gunny Lyrics

We settled in the North when I was a child
From overseas to a land remote and wild

I ran away from home when I was a teen
Studied visual arts with shattered self-esteem

Somehow I ended back up in the North
Cared for my ailing mother on Death's door

And now I'm the last of our line to stay
And I am so old and I am alone almost every single day

I want to move out to the east coast in a tiny home
I want to drive into the water when it's my time to go

They shut down the train to Cochrane
Can you hear the isolation talking

Here the trees outnumber people
Out here the old folks freeze and topple

There's an apocalypse coming
But I'll be gone before the culling

There's an apocalypse coming
But I'll be gone before the culling

My generation polluted the earth
Soon we'll be gone for what it's worth

My generation polluted the earth
Soon we'll be gone for what it's worth

I want to move out to the east coast in a tiny home
I want to drive into the water when it's my time to go

And I am sorry for our greed
Only art gives me release

There is nothing I can speak
Only art gives me release
