lyrics

Every day it always seems cloudy.
But it's not really about me, I'm just part of the algae.
Drowning is easy when you live in the ocean,
and no one seems to notice that the water is potent.
A closeness that never seems close enough.
And all of these doses just keep me throwing up.
The worlds such a big mess,
I write about it in text,
all this flesh has experienced is delirious fixed debt.
This step isn't in any direction, we're just running in circles
or most of us slept in.
So wake up, even if it hurts a lot.
Just keep your dreams alive cause it's always worth a shot.
We speak soft, or dream lost,
to choose between deep thoughts or detox.
Sleepwalk and take your pills,
but all of their cheap talk won't pay the bills.
Its not that the world forgot you,
its that it dropped through
and you're not new.
They shot through your lost view and stopped you.
Bought two, then sold them both for profit.
Forgetting its all toxic and claiming that they're not sick.
But honestly I'm feeling sick today.
Waiting for the modesty to start to ricochet.
My hearts in disarray but I'm partially to blame,
for worrying about everything while acting like I'm brave.
So hey today I feel a bit barbaric.
Quit blaming your parents when its really lack of merit,
on your part, your art is forced sabotage.
Of course your sad facade has no remorse,
a bad mirage you created to shape-shift into fake greatness.
While we still make payments for the bars on our cages.
There's so much left to purchase, I'm just another wordsmith,
nervous uncertain person searching for a purpose.
The worst is, always yet to come.
We're just as numb as we're supposed to be.
These shooting sprees aren't new to me,
usually we hope to see the massacre that half-occurs
when pastures burn and laughter's heard.
We have to learn to see the sewage and ruins
as a good example of the beauty in humans.
Every day, it always seems cloudy but its smog.
One man's trash is another man's god.

about

Happy Tooth Columbus, Ohio

"Both Happy Tooth and BDotJeff spoke to the idea that music can be therapeutic, and writing and recording is now less about reaching a larger audience than steadying the turmoil within. “You do start to question your own motivations, like, why am I doing this?” Happy Tooth said. “And I’ve realized that I love the art, and I have to make it because deep down it makes me feel better.” - MatterNews ... more
