lyrics

Do I look like a phoenix
Do I look like I feel like I’m rising
If you believe that then I must have hid it well
Mostly because I’m not fallen either
I’m in stasis
I’m exactly where I was half an hour ago
but now at least I know
That there’s nothing I can really do about it

If there’s a deeper meaning somewhere
I’ll miss it I’ll miss it
Point the thoroughline to me if you hear it
There is none there is none
Trying to escape the earnestness
and the yearning the yearning
I should accept it and
Check what jobs are left
We do our best to hit the goalpost in motion

It’s been suggested that I
Find a normal hobby or I should start a book club
Instead of sitting in my bed
just do some sort of other stuff
like walking in the park
Writing a song just as a lark and not as therapy
The message boiled down to
Act like a real person and you’ll
have more fun
But here’s the thing
That implies I can stop brooding

Every time I get the right advice
I missed it I missed it
Always distracted by some apocalypse
Nothing feels worth it when I’m
Hearing things are getting bad now
But then soon I may miss it
I'll accept we're doomed keep headphones in the room
Can't assume we'll just make it out of this

Yeah I want to leave the static but what do I do without it
All I see is a blank screen whenever I think about it

Day and night blend but I never miss a dosage
But it’s still past three, with eyes wide red like some stoner
But I was too afraid to smoke as a teenager anyway
Too formal for formative experiences
Days of polo shirts
And cargo shorts like God intended for me

I could have kept on that way
Keep down everything I felt
I could have been a king someday

But all I see is a blank screen whenever I think about it
Yeah I want to leave the static but what do I do without it
Been on cruise control for ages so stretch me thin leave me exhausted
My body my life were all laid out
it might have been wasted on me

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York

I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.

Now I find Answers in Between
