A created disturbance
Unknown in a distant light
I’m feeling closer in my mind
Headaches
Heartaches
My body breaks
So set me on fire
I till
So slow
With time to grow
So set me on fire
And I don’t think you should worry about it
And I don’t think you should worry about it
And I don’t think you should worry about it
And I don’t think you should worry about it
(And you go and you stay and you go and you stay)
And I don’t think you should worry about it
(And you go and you stay and you go)
And gently, lay me down
And gently, lay me down
And gently, lay me down
And gently, lay me down
(And it goes and it goes and it slows down)
And gently, lay me down
(And it goes and it goes and it slows down)
And gently, lay me down

C'mon, Jerry

Crawling out of the bedroom
Natural alarm wakes me up at noon
See the light through the curtains
And I’m back in the covers once again
Agree on leaving, spend minutes to hours every day
Catching up on breathing, the air pulls thick through my filter again
And when I sit alone, you know I’m worried
Put on the same clothes I’ve worn because I’m gross
You said I’m gone
(You said I’m gone)
You said I’m gone
Watch me spiral away
(Watch me spiral away)
You said I’m gone
So make way for the bad days coming the silence humming
When you can’t fall asleep in the end
And I fear the immediate future
Hate the holidays, I can’t stand the shape I’m in
My depression’s making me unhealthy
My intentions have been lost in smoke
My life is crawling with roaches and covered in ash
But I’m the only thing burning now
My malnutrition has a beautiful figure
You can’t tell ‘cuz I’m not eatin’ at all
Sorry I’m broken
Sorry I’m sensitive
Sorry I said sorry at all
You said I’m gone
(You said I’m gone)
You said I’m gone
Watch me spiral away
(Watch me spiral away)
You said I’m gone
You said I’m gone
(You said I’m gone)
You said I’m gone
Watch me spiral away
(Watch me spiral away)
You said I’m gone
You said I’m…gone
You said I’m gone
Watch me spiral away
You said I’m gone

Gravy Brain

Three hours to midnight
Tell me I’m adored
Three minutes till the buzz really hits and I’m crying on the floor
And I’m beginning to mold
Getting stuck to the couch
Holding out for a new beginning but you left me out
And will you be quiet
With me among the stars
Wander off slowly
Forgetting where you are
Drift into madness
Come closer when you care
And will you be quiet
With me while you’re here
And don’t get upset, I told you not to bet on me
A changing context, you swear it isn’t what it screams
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
With dazed eyes I see
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
What’s left of me
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
With dazed eyes I see
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
What’s left of me

Stones

I think I’m falling to pieces
Slowly sinking the stones
Run freely from sadness
Stand on the hilltop alone
It seems fit to set fire
Absorb a feeling of heat
Burn a bridge in the wrong direction
It’s only fair I wait
And tie me up in the moment
And don’t make me weep
I fell ill with the cancer inside you
Under the weather again
Under the weather again, under the weather again
It feels nice to show you
Always with conditions of solace
Appear polished but molded by my pain
Bring back the faith
Excited with a sense of urgency
Always with conditions of solace
Appear polished but molded by my pain
Bring back the faith
Excited with a sense of urgency
Always with conditions of solace
Appear polished but molded by my pain
Bring back the faith
Excited with a sense of urgency
(We’re taking off, feel the backs of the other
And we’re holding on, until the warmth recovers)
Always with conditions of solace
Appear polished but molded by my pain
Bring back the faith
Excited with a sense of urgency
(We’re taking off, feel the backs of the other
And we’re holding on, until the warmth recovers)

Let the twinge help this feeling come to life
Keep on with this humor, keep it light (light)
And empty, alone (alone), so cringey
And give all of your secrets to me
Write it all down, all down, all down
Keep it light and empty
(And I’ve had many, many conversations)
Alone so cringey
(And I’ve said many, many words through tears)
Keep it light and empty
(And I’ve had heavy, heavy conversations)
Alone

Head low mundane again
Bare bones excess skin
Ooh
Ooh
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
But it’s in my head
Running round tonight
And we’re feelin’ strong
But it’s in my head
Running round tonight
And we’re feelin’ strong
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
But it’s in my head
Running round tonight
And we’re feelin’ strong
But it’s in my head
Running round tonight
And we’re feelin’ strong

Just go, you’re so materialistic
Take a bad copy of all the things you’ve lost
Be sure you hold on to what’s missing
It was worth it for you all
I don’t think in the right frame of mind
Complacently nervous
Lonelier in time
I’m angry, I’m helpless
And I mean it I hate this
(Oooh aaah)
(And I’ll take it all)
(And I’ll take it all)
I can’t take it, I feel helpless
(And I’ll take it all)
And I mean it, I hate this
(And I’ll take it all)
I can’t take it, I feel helpless
(And I’ll take it all)
And I mean it, I hate this

Make way ‘til the thrills are gone
And not long ‘til the morning comes, well
Don’t wake me up, I’m swallowed inside
Build walls with the fears you’ve sealed and
Fall asleep over beers you’ve spilled
You’ve stained your shirt and it shows this time
Hang on, hang on, hang on cause we’re almost through it
And we’ve brushed it off, brushed it off, brushed it off
You can’t brush through it
And we talked it out, worked it off
Emphasized, we’re tired as hell
And we hang on, hang on, hang on cause we’re almost through it
And we’ve brushed it off, brushed it off, brushed it off
(You) can’t brush through it
Say what you said, that’s enough now
Don’t ruin anything with words that came out
I’ve found more than broken glass to cut the rope that bind me
A perfect imposter on a flawless design
Life finds a way to squeeze ‘em sometimes
Abandon your body ‘til the smoke comes out, and try to hang on
(And we hang on, hang on, hang on cause we’re almost through it
Brushed it off, brushed it off, brushed it off
You can’t brush through it)
