lyrics

You know a little better where I'm from
You know a little better why I haven't been better
I hope someday I'll laugh at the strongly worded letters I wrote to living
Stop taking myself so seriously

Found no peace of mind, what was I looking for
there’s no truth to find, what was I working toward
Never made my own meaning before but there was never an option

I’ve spent my time
Taking in good advice
I’ve been inured
I’ve been productive, Never bored
Telling the same jokes
For several years
Afraid if I spoke
What I had would disappear
But it got old fast I knew it would be
all this time spent on anxiety

I convinced myself they were convincing themselves
That maybe pain made them stronger but it never outweighed
That they were never the same but they act unscathed
It comes with the territory life goes on anyway

The truths they’ll tell the things they say
The ways I've been complicit and I've been ashamed
And I don’t really get what’s making me stay
But It doesn’t matter whether I’ll be okay

I think I proved myself
I barely missed a dose
Every other weekend
Spent in my notes
It felt right when I thought it
Right when I wrote it down

I looked at it wondering
Why I didn’t feel it now

I’ve spent my time
Taking in good advice
I’ve been assured
I’d never suffer, I’d be adored
Cause maybe one day
I’m gonna get out
Spend every morning
Sketching in how
And it takes more strength then anyone should have
By design but that's fine, I expected that

I will belong to somewhere or someone
I will be-long winded but stick with me stick with me
I will be fine, heaven’s no concern and I’ve been through hell
And I’ll live my life so if something should happen my absence is felt

I’ve done my time
Listening to good advice
Behind closed doors
Productive, but what for
I can’t say if I will belong
To somewhere or someone
I’m still not enough and I’m still not strong
But I’m choosing now of all times to go on so...

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.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 4 fans who also own “Good Advice”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
