about

Ryan Eykholt aka Runny Yolk (they/them & he/him) is a student of music, abolition, love, restorative justice. Ryan thanks their teachers, from their hometown of Madison and from their times living in Poughkeepsie and Amsterdam, who have stretched their voice and their musical impulses. Inspired by artists ranging from Perfume Genius to Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Ryan writes music from a place of queer ambivalence, entanglement and interconnectedness, (be)longing, and feelings of not-quite-fitting.

lyrics

[verse 1]
when was i born
when did i taste the afterlife
when could i recognize myself apart from another
whose skin was torn
who cut the cord, who held the knife
who broke the bread to forgive the love of my mother

[pre-chorus]
day by day, a little more believable
i can't do anything else
spent my loving on a whim
go on, let bygones be more grievable
don't keep the heat for yourself
keep me, keep me boiling over the brim

[chorus]
everything is ok
there's nothing to be sad about
in this lifetime
you could be another person to me
you're lucky in a way
you're everything without
in this lifetime
of forgetting

[verse 2]
when was i born
when did i dread the end of days
when could i rest my eyes, lay my cheek against a lover's chest
whose clothes were worn in the morning
when we parted ways
who broke the silence in exchange for a day of rest

[chorus]
everything is ok
there's nothing to be sad about
in this lifetime
you could separate another 180 degrees
you're lucky in a way
you're everything without
in this lifetime

[outro]
i feel a change, i feel it in my collarbone
a big pain
oh when was i born
oh when was i born
i feel a change, i feel it when i'm not alone
do i look the same
i feel a change
oh when was i born

high key, off kilter
bone by bone bodybuilder
small key, when to enter
leaving kisses on his fingers like splinters
and if sadness is in your hands
let me crack your knuckles
if sadness is in your plans
let me press your luck
if tuesday's child stays full of grace
if anything can be replaced
then there's nothing to be sad about
nothing to be sad about
nothing to be sad about
nothing to be sad about
