Anxiety
01:00
|
|||
|
My brain can't stop thinking o things
I got a lotta anxiety
It just keeps rolling around
It won't just be quiet for me
It's got me in a right mess
I just wanna clean it up
Instead I keep making it worse
Every time I get up
I want to be calm
I want to be calm
I can't catch my breath
I can't speak, I can't eat
My body is buzzing loud
From my head to my feet
Hold me now don't let me go
I don't wanna be alone
I'm scared of everything
How did I get so prone?
I want to be calm

Go Away
01:00
|
|||
|
I am sad
Every time you go away
There is an emptiness
Sitting in your place
It doesn't work
It doesn't feel
I can't cry on its shoulders
They're not even real

Rumination
01:00
|
|||
|
Think back to a time
Before I had regrets
The memory is so dim
I almost forget
A basement full of sound
Sticky skin and floors
Amplified sentiments
Innocent no more
I can't live in the past
You're not ever coming back
Constant rumination
Never peace or closure
Write another song about it
Means it's never over
A super 8 somewhere
Buried in belongings
Can't destroy the evidence
Of all of my wrongdoings

Too Much
00:59
|
|||
|
Peace
Sex
Lust
Practice your poker face
In front of the mirror
Dark sunglasses
And a cigarette
Carrying drugs
In your leather jacket
You'll share with anyone
who asks
Truthfully
I don't wanna die
But the point of it all
Seems to pass me by
Truthfully
I don't wanna die
But the point of it all
Seems to pass me by
You're comical and logical
A real conundrum
The only thing good to me
A genuine smile
Heart pitter-patter
Stare at my feet
I want it to be real
It's altogether too much

Not Enough
01:00
|
|||
|
Work is not enough
Years I been crumblin'
Took a coward's path
Years I been turning in
Kiss me hello, dear
Kiss me goodnight
Money's not enough
Years I been stumblin'
All the gains I made
I fell back down again
Queer is not enough
Years I been mumblin'
Never coming out
Fear o' failing you, my love
Kiss me hello, dear
Kiss me goodnight

Aura
01:00
|
|||
|
Pressure, pressure
Focus and release
In the eyes
Holding back the beast
At best the rest
Delayed another day
Tomorrow begins
The pain once again
Aura, aura
Hazy, hazy brain
Sorrow, sorrow
Hurting from the rain
Aura, aura
Hazy, hazy brain
Sorrow, sorrow
Lazy refrain

Come Back
00:59
|
|||
|
I will come back
Once in a while
I miss you
And your smile
I will come back
Early or late
Which day
I can't exactly say
I will come back
Like Jesus in the book
I won't be a martyr
But I'll help you cook
I will come back
I promise, just wait
Misery loves promises
And misery's my fate

Insomnia
01:00
|
|||
|
Unh
Yeah
Kick it
There's a crackle somewhere
Electric air
A heartbeat beating
But you were never there
I must have died a little
I couldn't bear
My teeth clenched
The sadness doesn't care
I lie awake alone
Playing my favourite song
You were here once I swear
And now you are gone
I lie awake forever
The night drags on
I keep your memory alive
Like nothing went wrong
Like nothing went wrong
Like nothing went wrong

Old Growth
01:00
|
|||
|
Fallacy grip rain
Slipping out the back
Soaking from the heavens
On a porch in the forest
Friends and users
Tell me a story
Something about you
You never told
Floating in your memory
A flash of you and I
Standing in the rain
Lost in lust
Fancy dance night club
Bumping together
Going home early
And making love
I'll share your secret with no one
Your gift is not mine to give
I'll share your secret with no one
Your gift is not mine to give

New Age
01:00
|
|||
|
I haven't felt this way
In a long time
We're close to extinction
Disappearing
For a final time
What are you wearing?
Special occasion
Once in a lifetime
What a surprise
To see you caring
It's a new age
All the celebration
Let's snuff it out
Let's be more daring
It's a new age
Shut the door on the old
Join the the masses
Do what you're told
