In Quarantine

I can't believe I even found it
Easy to work my way around it
I guess this time that I will see it
Through to the ending my friend
In love and life I seem to lose it
Easier than I prove it
Lost all my thoughts inside
A hole that I dug deep within myself
I find the words
When I'm no longer trying
To rhyme them
I find I'm cursed
I speak too much
When there's nothing left to be said
Happily miserable
Boring and free
In quarantine
I always find a new catharsis
Thinking I'm always above this
Til I fall back down below
Into lack of control
I'll find a new way to express it
Walking in the dark undressing
Let my foes laugh at me naked
They'll never see what I'm holding
I find the words
When I'm no longer trying
To rhyme them
I find I'm cursed
I speak too much
When there's nothing left to be said
Happily miserable
Boring and free
It's the worst thing to be
I hate me
You'll find a friend
In your alienation
You'll meet at the end of your fall
You're on the mend
With your new medication
You don't need them after all
You'll find a friend
In your alienation
You'll meet at the end of your fall
You're on the mend
With some new medication
You don't need them after all

Numbed

Now I feel nothing at all
I’ve numbed myself for the fall
Desensitized by you all
Now I feel nothing at all
Now I feel nothing at all
I’ve numbed myself for the fall
Desensitized by you all
I feel nothing at all
You've brought me to my senses
I realized nothing matters
I’ll throw my hopes and dreams away
For you
Just to feel nothing at all
I’m on my knees you watch me crawl
I’m looking up and you’re so tall
Bury me where autumn leaves will fall
Take my life away
Take my life away
Take my life away
Now I feel nothing at all
I’ve numbed myself for the fall
Desensitized by you all
Now I feel nothing at all

Most people probably think
That I’m fucking crazy
For choosing a life
That will bring us no fruits
But maybe wealth
Is nothing more than a fallacy
It’s rice and beans for dinner
On a table for two
And I will bring my labor
Straight to that table
Right after I build it
I’ll get to it soon
And what’s for lunch
Besides all of this judgement
I get from these assholes
Guess they’ve got a sweet tooth
I’m just a softie dressing hard
I’ll show you just what I’m made of
With bad lyrics in a boring song
Instead of praying
I’ll be counting my blessings
I harvest myself
Because God thinks I’m a lost cause
I hope one day
Santa brings me some gifts again
I could use some new strings on my shitty guitar
I don’t know
What these assholes problems are
I think I’ve been quite a kick-ass guy
So far
Or maybe not
I’m just a softie dressing hard
I’ll show you just what I’m made of
With bad lyrics in a boring song

Misery wants some company
I’m being strangled on the couch
By my insecurities
Depressed and lifeless
Feeling hopeless
Take my brain away from me
I could start again (Brain)
Reincarnate as a grain of sand (Brain)
Just as irrelevant and insignificant (Brain)
A big ego in a little boy (Brain)
I’ll tie firecrackers to my toys (Brain)
If I don’t get what I want (Brain)
I’ve built my own disaster
It’s not magnificent
And no one will remember after
I mean nothing in any of it
How many give a damn
Tonight I’ll see it through if I can
Just kidding
Misery wants some company
I’m being strangled on the couch
By my insecurities
Depressed and lifeless
Feeling hopeless
Take my brain away from me
There are no friends in my computer
That would understand
I wanna get out of my house
But I can’t
Has this depression got a hold on me
Let’s see how I feel next week
Please love me
My misery wants some company
I’m being strangled on the couch
By my insecurities
Depressed and lifeless
Feeling hopeless
Take my brain away from me

Wasted Time
05:34

I’ve been losing sleep
Over all the choices I’ve made
A life of regret isn’t what i had in mind
I’m slowly slipping away
You’ll be here in less than a week
And I’m dreading the moment itself
Your timings impeccable, great choice of words
Cute little story to tell
I’ll skip town and I’ll drink for a while
In a place that’s not too far from home
I wish I could stay there for longer
And just wait it out until you are gone
Once off of your pedestal
You’re not as colourful as you once were
So boring, generic, a dime a dozen
Nothing but a spec on the earth
I don’t know how long it will take
To get your laughter off my mind
I don’t care what part of me I break
Poisoning things on the inside
You don’t know how long I’ve waited
For you to arrive by my side
How long I’ve anticipated
All this wasted time
I think I saw you in my dream last night
You were different but we were the same
I’m stuck in a loop and I know it
To you I’m just a fun little phase
I wish the goodbye I said was my last
And I bid you farewell in a stride
But you’re inconsistent and I fell in love
With your stupidity and your pride
I don’t know what you were thinking
With that thorn stuck in your side
Clearly I’ve been missing something
If it was that easy to leave me behind
What is your story you’re spinning
Nothing makes sense but I don’t mind
Because it’s not my business or problem
It’s just my wasted time
I don’t know how long it will take
To get your laughter off my mind
I don’t care what part of me I break
Poisoning things on the inside
You don’t know how long I’ve waited
For you to arrive by my side
How long I’ve anticipated

Coronas on the Beach

Yes, I know it’s daunting
There is something haunting
Alleyways in midnight
Dead lungs, breath tight
Seeping through the mouths
Of saints and liars
We are all the same
In deaths desire
But I feel alright
And so should you
There’s no more pain on the other side
That’s all I know to be true
Breathe into my bloodstream
Cleanse the hate from in me
Allergic to the sunrise
Tomorrow brings demise
We’ve been praying
We’ve been waiting
This is your worlds end
You’ve been craving
We feel alright
And so do I
I feel happy despite
Your false promise of the other side
You’ve brought this yourself
Your manifesting hands
Locusts in our fathers crops
And disease in the land
