about

Being in a band is fun. Stop moaning about being in a band.

lyrics

When these chords fade away and cease,
I know if not warm I’ll be safe at least.
Im broken by choice but have found release.
No it shouldn’t take much to make me happy.

Ive been broke and hungry,

but never had somewhere I couldn’t escape to.
Ive been lost and angry
always had friends that can carry me through.
I get mad at systems that make it hard to chase my dreams,
yet im ignorant of others that would prevent me from being…me.

Im not so blind to think there arent those worse off than me,

what if I solve all of their problems does that leave me free
To air all of my issues for the entire world to see
or is the nature of this beast such that it pays to have the former perspective?
Oh truth is I dont know how to feel.

I dry my eyes,

take stock look around
And realise
I’ve witnessed
harmless negativity at worst in my pursuit of a life,
we should define,
as having a right,
to just survive,
and spend our time as we see fit.

To be aware doesnt mean be unhappy,

to punish yourself would be missing the point.
If I had to trade places I dont think I coild take it.
Total acceptance needs dominion of power.
Are you sure? Its much easier to hate.
Blinkers are my safety net I dont think that I can change.

Pick up pick up pick up the phone.

One little chat im coming home.
To write a song about it.
Lucky are those who have the time to reflect.

The sticks and stones that move our parts,

that boil our fears and forge our arts,
that change our minds and break our hearts,
that fool us into taking charge,
is lunacy with changing face,
a loosely fitting mask thats laced,
with bitter herbs to hide the taste,
of wounds left from a fall from grace.

How many times can I make the same mistake?
Tell me how to end this.
