about

A track about being stuck in a negative loop as a result of the use of coping mechanisms that, while making the everyday life more tolerable, serve in the end to only hinder any progress towards a better future.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I didn't call you back on Sunday,
cause I didn't want to fall in love.
And when I came off the downers,
all emotions were absolved.
And it's been a month,
it's been a while,
but I still think back to that.
Try to numb your self-reflection,
too much love relies on that.

Verse 2:
And I didn’t meet you on that Wednesday,
cause I was unsure of what you meant.
Ever since I found myself and lost him,
I'm scared of living.
So I just stay alone in my room,
soaking into more cheap beer.
And I'll write another four chords,
about how I wish that you were here.

Chorus 1:
And he said, get a hold of yourself.
You're a good friend,
you're a buddy, but you're starting to freak me out.
You can’t deal with this, kind of shit,
through numbing it, by drinking until you pass out.
Yeah you’re a good friend,
and you’re a buddy, but you're starting to freak me out.

Verse 3:
And I didn't wake up on that Thursday,
cause I was tired of waking up.
Spending days on end in my room,
just waiting till I fuck up.
So I’ll write a tune,
I’ll talk to you,
but nothing feels like then.
So I just stayed asleep in my room,
cause it’s safer in my bed.

Verse 4:
And I called in sick on Friday,
cause they don’t need me anyways.
Yeah coffee makes me anxious,
but I drink 3 cups a day.
And I've been driving 40 over,
since about 6:49.
Listening to constant static,
trying like hell to feel alive.

Chorus 2:
And I said, get a hold of yourself.
You're a good friend,
and you're a buddy, but you're starting to freak me out.
You can’t deal with this, kind of shit,
through numbing it, by smoking till’ you green out.
Yeah you’re a good friend,
and you’re my buddy, but we need to figure this out.
