There's something, it's waiting to shout
An ephemeral nausea, waiting to clock out
Another round, it's on the house
Try to forget it
In my mouth, choking me out
I'm sifting through madness for the word, the line, the way
That it should be
It just won't sound the way that I'd like it to be
Meet me at the beach
Bring some lunch and we will eat
We'll watch the waves and we will drown ourselves in it
A dozen and we're through
It will be nice, it will be soon
Wept by the cool monsoons
Our bodies laid to waste
Can't quite catch what you said
But it stuck right in my head
Struggling through the currents overhead
Our dreams swimming with the dead

Writing songs in the dark
I'm thinking of sadness
Afflictions of madness
Touched beyond return
I'm obsessively worrying
Worrying about something
Worrying about nothing
Just worrying
If there was a way to come down, to calm down
I'd be too caught up with something else
Cementing myself in petty problems
Indulging foolish ideas
And not working things out
The thing is
There's really nothing to worry about
There really isn't much to be sad about
There really isn't much to be mad about
There's really nothing to be upset about

You can say that you’ve had enough
Another drag and I called your bluff
Then you knew that’s how you feel when making sense out of things but you know it does not, and you know it’s stupid
On your march to madness will you try to make amends for the things you have done or will I clean up

It’s not as much as i would like to
More than I want to stop the incessant ringing in my ears
Its like a clout to my face
Getting insects out of my head
Like a cloud of dysphoria
When I'm lying in my bed
Tongue tied with paranoia
Static inert feelings instead of
An actual euphoria but this is where I've made my bed
Maybe start thinking about our lives
Instead of being stuck here all the time
I was just thinking we should go out
Instead of being stuck here me and you
Its nice when the world doesn't have us at our throats
But I think we should still try to face facts

These feelings I had
These feelings I know
This dread won't go
It's unnerving
It's annoying
It's annoying
Picking up the slacks
I'm living in shades of what I was and it's tiring
And it's boring
And it's boring
I don't think that I would ever leave this awful headspace
A shallow pool
I'm gonna drown in spit
Fixations on misery
I'm seeing faces I don't like in places I could just walk away from
It's okay

i had a dream about myself
thought i was someone else and i remember it was a lie
i don't know if i'm alive
there's nothing left to do
so i push my fingers through my skull
and i've never felt so alive
i think i'm ready to die
there must be something that can take
take this pressure from my lungs
i want to crush it in my arms
i want to feel like i can die
nothing to be certain of
so i'm just waiting idly by
i've been waiting all this time
for something that won't arrive
