lyrics

It’s been years now;
I’m calling off the search for myself.
I think I'm comfortable with "uneasy"
Is there something that could teach me?

I’ve heard perspective comes in handy,
but I'm not sure from where I’m standing

'Cause I’m still sick with passions and inaction,
Experiments in loss studied and practiced.
Self-aware,
but not too cool to care.

And I feel ill trading toxins for talking.
Wrestling with doubt,
well, it's all about shadowboxing.

So don’t come a-knocking,
this boy is up rocking,
arms around his knees
on a bare mattress/boxspring

Rode home too high
shouting “I Hate Myself and I Wanna Die”

You're Better Than This

This album fucks as hard as dripping and magic but imo feels the most personal and emotional release of the three. It’s weird and frantic but hits this really interesting balance. jude
