This Fucking Weight
02:45
|
|||
Sometimes smiles, other times cross
always by your side
and always right there
hands on your throat, kicking in the goddamn door
it's simply a symptom of being
be unsure, as every choice still leads
somewhere
Often feel like a disappointment, like a total failure
just fell behind, had it planned out, you just never got there
it's simply a symptom of knowing
you're just one amongst a lot of things
a leaf aware of trees
This fucking weight, forever there
forever breaking your back
your boulder, carry it up
till you can no longer
it's simply a symptom of being
be unsure, cuz if there's one sure thing
it's that

Get Sad
02:38
|

If I come back from this shit
I will fucking kill sadness
if I come back from this shit
I will wring it's fucking neck
If I breakdown, will you still have my back?
If I trust you, promise there's no goodbyes
Would you find it cool if I
fell of the face of the Earth?
would you find it cool if I
numbed my problems when they hurt?
If I breakdown, will you still have my back?
If I trust you, promise there's no goodbyes
If I told you, how much I want to die
If I get sad, will you still have the time?

Coward
02:36
|
|||
There's a place in hell for your kind
cowards like you don't deserve friends
don't deserve love, only to be left
If they only knew, the things that you'd said
could've just said "no" when i first asked
could've just had the heart to understand
didn't have to act like we were friends
fucking coward, you can't take it back

Where Sadness Sleeps
03:07
|

Follow me down
forget your pain
you can feel good
forget some names
Everything's bliss
all can be seen
when you are numb
life's just a dream
I'm destructive
I'm debased
I will push so
hard it breaks
Follow me down
where a quick fix
is better than
dealing with it
nobody cares
or if they did
i wouldn't be
fucked up like this
I'm destructive
I'm debased
I will push so
hard I break
follow me down
where sadness sleeps
just for a night
it's easy to be
no second thoughts
or insecurity
yeah for a night
life is a dream
I'm destructive
I'm debased
I will push so
hard I break

A Cure for Loneliness
02:27
|
|||
On one yuletide night, lights
framed the most putrid of things:
an unabashed lust for
pleasure, a cure for loneliness
Whenever you're alone at night
with whatever thoughts you thought justified
all your childish and selfish lies
hope you can't sleep
fucking hope it haunts your dreams
Under watch of colors, festive in their arrangements
they're bearing sole witness
to the whoring out of self-respect

Katamari
18:17
|

to mix joy with life
that's the ambrosia
the sweet rind of lust
that Eve was eating
but there was one
and there was only one
so now our days are filled with dreaming
of an orchard
and of serpentine
enticers of, what we were sowing
if life is long
then it will be tough
so why would you
not want to fill up?
up and then down, no matter how bad it gets you can bet it's gonna be
up and then down, no matter how good it gets you can bet it's gonna be
one hell of a ride
and the finish line isn't in sight
until you've crossed it
take it in stride
find it within yourself to see
that that line is just a concept
the symptom of us
is we need to be
something when Eve
can't count on counting
the symptom of us
is we have to be
something or else
it's just heartbreaking
(bought the gimmick, ate that shit up hook line and bait)
(filled to the gills, couldn't see that they had him)
however you wish to see it
in the end it's all semantics
cuz everything is something after all
and everything ends
perhaps there is a field in which we meet
one separate from the twists and turns that placed us here
and perhaps there's really nothing after all
there never were such things as pain, or joy or triumph
and even if agency is just a myth
and even if it's true that nothing really matters
i believe in what i feel and in my world-view
so much so that it doesn't matter what is after
up and then down, no matter how bad it gets you can bet it's gonna be
up and then down, no matter how good it gets you can bet it's gonna be
to mix joy with life
that's the ambrosia
the only way to be anything
the only things that you owe yourself
are the very things that terrify you
and if you die then that was your life
and if you die then it's on your terms
and there you would lie, and it'd be glorious
yea cuz you died, it's gonna happen
why be satisfied on just getting by
are you a wick in someone's candle?
yea you had no say, but you're here right now
so take a chance, and fucking gamble

Goodbye
02:49
|

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
to the things that make you sad
to the things that make you feel bad
If you try, you try, you try
then things they must go right
even if they fail a million times
Well if found the secret chords
they were always right within me
unplayed and waiting, and then they were born
and next came the melodies tugging on your heart strings
Now more than ever, I really hope it means a lot
Now and forever, please appreciate the thought
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
to the things that make you sad
to the things that make you feel bad
If you try, you try, you try
then things they must go right
even if they fail a million times
Well if found the secret chords
they were always right within me
unplayed and waiting, and then they were born
and next came the melodies tugging on your heart strings
Now more than ever, I really hope it means a lot
Now and forever, please appreciate the thought
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
to the things that make you sad
to the things that make you feel bad
If you try, you try, you try
then things they must go right
even if they fail a million times
