ANTHEM

And so we're born anew
Into a bright world just for two
It's in these visions
I lose sense of meaning
So as you struggle now to stand
Inside this wreckage
Drenched in sand
We'll awake them
And hope glimpse upon a better...
So far, so good. I can see
A sherbet sky up ahead
The sun sinking, bloody red
No rest. No need. Not weary.
Better driving than that dread. Off a cliff than in bed...
This morning was a binary code, zero one then I'm done
To think of now and then as the same timeline...
It's almost too perfect
This dichotomy of moments between you and me
Hey, here's the last one
Your one and only anthem
Your one and only anthem...
So put your hand to your chest 'cuz
I'm here to bring stress
And bring up old shit
And sing you your anthem
It's been a year of worry
A doomsday clock ticking down
In a sewer there's a clown
And when you hear the story
How much humor can you bring to puppets swinging on a swing?
Let this anthem stand
A small reminder
A demand
To not go back there
And stay inside this bright and better...

Sad (Again)

This is really worth repeating once or twice a day
Know your worth and feel okay
It might get better. It might get worse
Please don't get worse
And although you understand
Although you understand
We'll all get sad again...

It's a moment, life is just a moment
The warped demands of this domestic monster
We bow our head, it's like we've all been conquered
By racist, cruel, and idiotic killers
But I don't want to be alone, it's Wednesday
My only thoughts of comfort were with you
The costume uses fear to keep us useless
And gray mind makes all meaning just seem pointless
One second, okay?
I've been feeling like a sack of shit for half the day
So I'll take out the trash
And organize surroundings and create feelings of calm
Though I cannot shake off the truth that it feels like most of us
Were the kinds of people that helped create these toxic surroundings
But I don't want to be alone, it's Wednesday
My only thoughts of comfort were with you
These constructs, they all float away with wet sand
Obscuring the designs I made for you
No I don't want to be alone, it's Wednesday
My only thoughts of comfort were with you
But now you're gone, and all I'm left with is just wet sand
Obscuring the designs I made for you
But now you're gone
And I'm tired of all these songs I made for you

Dismal

Tuesday in the morning, I woke up feeling nauseous
Like my head was spinning, kinda dizzy, couldn't stop it
It's dark as hell, and I'm barely breathing
I opened the window and reeled from the smell
Red sun in the black sky
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN HELL!
No more
I just can't breathe anymore, so
I guess I'll keep wasting my time, and
Take all this trash to the curb, and
Try not to breathe anymore
I told myself that soon it'd get better
But Wednesday just brought even more bad weather
Everything I've done feels worthless, like garbage
Like, 'If I'm gonna die soon, does it even matter?'
It's ten in the morning
I can't find the sun
I can't fucking breathe
BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK!
Hearts pounding, anxious
Is it smoke? Or lack of breakfast?
Thought it was raining, or snowing, or something
But FUCK! It's ash raining down from the sky
TOXIN OR VIRUS
WHICH ONE TO FILTER?
CARCINOGEN OR SICKNESS??
WHY AM I STILL HERE????

CAPTURE THIS BEFORE THE MEMORY LEAVES YOU
The time we planned to get drunk as fuck. The device allowing this was a game. We would drink every time that the d-bags we were hanging out with said something stupid. Which was every seven seconds.
I miss everyone who fucked me up
I miss everyone who fucked up
I miss everyone. Now I'm fucked up
Oh, I miss everyone. Now I'm fucked fucked up
Did you define me? All the recommendations. All the late nights and brilliant stories. Did you make me? I miss you so much dude. Fuck, I miss talking to you, and it's boring and sad. I was fucked up then and I'm fucked up now. But back then, you liked me somehow.
SOMETIMES I WISH THEN WAS NOW BUT SOON AFTER I REMEMBER EVERYTHING ELSE AND THERE'S NO ONE AROUND HERE TO BLAME EXCEPT MYSELF AND A PIECE OF SHIT I THOUGHT WAS MY BEST FRIEND
Capture this before the memory leaves you

So Tired

I'm so tired of all these songs
And trying to make meaning out of melodies
And find something worthwhile in these memories
I'm just bored
And I'm tired
Of all these songs
