about

The song is fuelled by a sort of exhausted by it all anger and feelings of disempowerment, while trying to balance these feelings with the narratives that we are responsible for our own well-being, our own happiness.

lyrics

Rolling out and nothing’s done
I can’t seem to give a fuck
Devoid of all that’s yet to fold

Far from me to comprehend
The extent of a cravens strength
29 more years until it hits

Dried out and wholly numb
A scarce attempt on
Discouraging thought
Twisted filters
Thins out haze
Trapped in self designed neurons gaze

You’ve quantified the plight of man
Dark ruining and fiercely dank
You’re not on your own side

Tired expedited youth
A power play, elaborate truth
Breathing in the putrefying mood

If I bore you
Then take a leave
I won’t pander to
Incessant needs
Keep trying
To make change
And as the water rises exponential
Growth will stake its claim

I, I cannot wait forever
I, need this now
I, I cannot wait forever
I, need this now

Visceral fear of living With
myself until the end
Wonder, optimisms’ rising
Further from real dread

Don’t be quick to tear it all down
Sure you’ve got some acumen
Talk to yourself as you might a
More compassionate friend
