about

This song is about how I'm unlucky but a better person because of it,
being more pseudo realistic with my goals now.
It's also about pushing folks away because your struggle inconveniences them.

lyrics

I fell in the forest.
Nobody heard me fall.
Been stuck on the fourth step.
Inventory worried ya'll.
If I had a book of matches.
I'd burn it all.
Everything's tragic.
Keep reciting Murphy's Law.
Tell me what my future holds.
Don't come to my funeral.
Miserable and cynical.
They say that's how I view it all.
(I don't give a fuck....)
Run and tell em' that I'm just a monster.
Run and tell em' that I'm just improper.
Just as awkward.
Just impostor.
Tell em all,
tell em all it's dishonor.
Who does he think he is?
Look at this lineage.
Penniless,
empty as envy is.
When we kiss
in a sense
ignorance traded for innocence.
Ending in slitten wrists.
Fits of indifference.
Lost my Cinderella
in a cigarillo.
Meant to tell ya,
well uhh,
sob stories
got my mom worried.
Umbrella held-up.
It's raining cats and dogs.
Writin the saddest songs.
Just hopin you rap along.
Don't know what I have it's gone.
There's beauty in admitting
we don't know why we're grinning.
Everything was shattered and fractured from the beginning.
Everyone you know's a bad person to someone.
All the good intention created
can just be undone.
Still stuck tryin to stay happy.
Still want to find a way badly.
Finally clapping.
Dying from laughing.
Still in my mind all the time
it's collapsing.
Still not through.
It's gonna pay off soon.
Let's talk truth,
stay lost as chaos blooms.
Feels like the world's out to get me.
Still standin still
in this counterfeit dream.
Everything bad that can happen will happen.
Everything bad that can happen will happen.
Everything bad that can happen will happen.
Everything bad that can happen.

"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
