    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

lyrics

My neighbor died on a Sunday
35 years old
Never asked for sugar
Never said Hello

One day I saw him in the driveway
Just standing in the light
Wearing an inside out sweatshirt
For the longest time

He listened to Wagner
Turned all the way up
Had a red shed in his backyard
I would know cause one time I looked

He seemed like a sad man
And he slammed all the doors
Never drew up his curtains
He was small and pale on the porch

Do I miss you or the mystery?
Do I miss you or the mystery?

They found him in his kitchen
A telephone in his hand
Curled up like a baby
With the face of a man

They came to ask me questions
Couldn’t tell them a thing
What will I do without him?
My neighbor without a name

Do I miss you or the mystery?
Do I miss you or the mystery?
