There’s a feeling, it’s not right
Got me waking up at night
Cannot sleep
You’re in my brain
Doesn’t feel like I’m in pain though
See I’m doing fine?
Met my new friends all online
If you have a bit of time
I’ve got things weighing my mind down
Look me in the eye
Do you think I’ll be alright?
Am I walking down the line towards
Health and a long life?
Do I know what time I die?
If I move I think I’ll cry
There’s just so much going on
I need to clear out and move on

Waking up, not a thing to do except sit around and pity myself.
Comb my hair, check my phone again, just waiting for a message from you.
I’m frozen in the indelible thought that maybe you are someone new.
I don’t know if you feel the same way but in my depths of my dreams it’s true.
How do you know it’s love?
How do you know when someone’s thinking of you?
How do you know it’s love?
Oh yeah…
How do you know it’s love?
Every day I don’t hear from you feels like I’m drowning in a sea of doubt.
Finding ways to send you a note and maybe ask you what your day was about.
I thought I’d always be alone until we met in the depths below.
I knew I loved you from the moment I saw you, but there’s something that I need to know.
How do you know it’s love?
How do you know when someone’s thinking of you?
How do you know it’s love?
Oh yeah…
How do you know it’s love?
How do you know it’s love?
How do you know when someone’s thinking of you?
How do you know it’s love?
Oh yeah…
How do you know it’s love?

dying light

I'm not myself lately
I've just been feeling like I'm not entirely there
Like a little piece of me falls off every day
and I don't know how to put it back together
You know it's almost funny that I thought I was doing better
But I just hit a wall and I smash back into a million little pieces.
I don't really know what the future has in store for me or anyone really
Not anymore
Not that I ever have
I just feel like the future is so malleable
But not in a productive way
Like a drawing you just crinkle up and throw away
When it doesn't fit the way you feel anymore
And no.
I have no idea of what people can do about this
Because I'm in the now
And the now is terrible
Just terrible
It's easy to forget that there are good things around you when everything else feels so bad
And I know that
I know that
I know that
I just wish I didn't feel like a dying light.

no face

I think about death all the time.
Can’t even sleep but say I’m fine.
No place to hide inside my mind.
I’m living life with no face.
I don’t fucking know where we are right now.
Cuz the walls all look the same to me.
We could be fucking anywhere right now.
I take another pill just to smile again.
With the laugh of a failed comedian.
I hope it makes me feel alive again.
I think about death all the time.
Can’t even sleep but say I’m fine.
No place to hide inside my mind.
I’m living life with no face.
Like a ghost with no grave
And nowhere to go,
I wander around
With my blank face.
I think about death all the time.
Can’t even sleep but say I’m fine.
No place to hide inside my mind.
I’m living life with no face.

ego death at will

She walked in the room about a quarter to ten
She looked around and couldn’t see her friends
Just a bunch of people trying to impress themselves
An introverted version of hell
But she flashes a smile
And she waves hello
And promises that she’ll go see your show
But we both know that she couldn’t give a shit
But she tries anyway like it’s a comedy bit
And I know when you stand perfectly still
That you try committing ego death at will.
She’s walks around like she runs the place
Doesn’t know the name but she knows the face
Just nod politely and say goodbye
Til she leaves and she bump into the same guy
She wanted a place just to call her own
But these days you have to build your throne
So she finds a way to normalize
The bullshit, the small talk, and all the lies
And I know when you stand perfectly still
That you try committing ego death at will.
There’s a chance that you might reveal
The side of you you want to conceal.
Hey hey hey ;)

At the end of the night,
You gotta send em home happy
Make them glad to be alive.
Yeah, send them home happy.
You don't have to feel the same way.
You don't have to feel the same way as they do.
You don't have to feel the same way.
hehehehe
