lyrics

Lyrics:
It's been one of those days for a couple of years.
I'm in a low place hopin somethin appears.
If you think my style's weird,
I'm just fighting fear.
This isn't a smile here,
these are crocodile tears.
Unlovable, uncomfortable, dysfunctional phrasing.
Untouchable, screamin gutteral, raging, saying,
tried to change things
there's fifty ways to change.
Strange that I refrain from choosing one to stay the same.
I wanna feel better than ever together whatever endeavor.
But when I'm falling apart there's just never an effort.
Use to uselessness.
Forgot what retribution is.
Make the music fit,
stream the revolution kids.
Feelin introverted and inverted on purpose.
Then again I've been a serpent,
everything's uncertain.
I'm a wet cigarette, indirect with no filter.
Livin so bewildered,
all I wanted was familiar.
I waited all night for someone to get a hold of me.
No one did, and it's alright,
I'm speakin soulfully.
About nothing and everything
so you'd fall for me.
Just wanna land solidly so we all agree
honestly, I just miss you,
and I know I can't fix you.
You don't miss me,
and you know I need fixed too.
I write about how lost I am.
Never had a lot of fans.
Won't get recognition,
til you see my hologram.
Let's be honest,
all this work is for nothing.
Deadly promise to be prophets.
Left wanting.
I don't have any good news,
nothing you could use,
you're just a crook too,
I don't know what you should do.
Speakin on the past,
like it's a resurrection.
When I only hurt myself and this is just a weapon.
I wanna say it's over,
to know that this is permanent.
But we're all unhappy and that's the truth I'm burdened with.
I've only seen this city at night.
Everything I've written's simply contrived.
I'll try to look for you
I'm squinting my eyes.
Said I missed you,
it's a pity I lied.
I've only seen this city at night.
Seems our dreams are living to die.
I've only seen this city at night.
Don't know how to tell you I'm just sick of the light.

I feel like the only stop sign in Paris.
Interpret it as romantic if you're careless.
Woke up, and I forgot where I was.
But remembered empty promises
I make when I'm drunk.
Giving myself the silent treatment.
Stone walled by my own fault.
Violent weakness.
Walkin to the corner store,
listenin to horrorcore.
Tryin to resist goin door to door
with chloroform like,
this is a hold-up.
Blame it on the doldrums.
Might end up in Folsom.
Sayin that I told em.
Parasites appear at night, right?
Scared alive by pairs of eyes
that stare inside,
life-like.
The two of us have only seen this city at night time.
The later it gets the less that we're in our right mind.
My baby says she's broke inside.
Says it's last call.
This disease is localized.
I'm dead on the asphalt.
Here's a song you'll never hear.
Hopin for a better year.
Each lines a piece of me.
Recently severed ear.
This beat isn't long enough to list these grievances.
You think I'm a piece of shit.
Arguments and bleeding fists.

Tell me who this songs about.
No we'll never talk it out.
(Got my hopes up,
then you shot me down.)

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
