lyrics

Lyrics:
(Fringe Owl)
Only human,

that’s no excuse for my carelessness

I need more therapists

Shedding skin like a snake again

let salesman pitch death

cause they’re aware their sick

but can’t cure themselves,

that’s where I come in

stumbling

won’t ever slip though

schizophrenic, yet there’s no slit throat

exempt from God’s laws, abusing privileges

yet, I wrote sick poems

sit back and get blown

light up a spliff, or get carried away by your own mistresses

was stoned like half my life, drunk off rum, still drove

there’s cameras in my eyes, tell satellites to go home

extreme bitterness was eating away my heart

An extra who became a star just playing his part

Now Whole

(Happy Tooth)

I shouldn't need to smoke an eighth to feel creative.
Shouldn't need to go away escape these cages.
But I'm only human.
Lonely, broke, and bruised then.
All I am is loose ends.
Confusion and new sins.
Too grim,
but these few friends keep my head straight.
If I stray today to decay they'll say let's wait.
Put it in my resume,
that we've all seen better days.
I try to educate, medicate, but the pressure stays.
Without this privilege,
how would you treat me?
Fuck a pessimist prejudice
you learned watchin T.V.
I just wanna death-defy,
commit regicide ahead of time.
Hopin my head is fine.
Fight to edify the best of lines.
Feels like goin backwards.
Humanity's inhumane.
Minutes fade like promises
went away when you came.
In a crammed arena,
you know that I ran to see ya,
searchin for a damn idea
or a panacea.
I'm only human.
I'm only human,
it's no excuse for my carelessness.
For my own amusement
I'm showin proof that I'm scared again.
I'm nothing compared to them.
Just something as arrogant.
Fakin a full house,
and all I gots a pair of tens.
My patience is wearing thin.
I must not be prepared for it.
A heretic's embarrassment.
I'm only human
it's no excuse for my carelessness.
I'm only human,
it's no excuse for my..
It makes me happy
to see you happy.
These parties make me sad sometimes.
If we're laughing
and we're really laughing.
We'll hardly even have to cry.
Existing can make us sad for some reason.
Days are bad
so we just try to sleep in.
They say I don't have to want freedom.
But I'm only human
and I must be dreaming.
It makes me happy
to see you happy.
And these parties make me sad sometimes.
If we're laughing
and we're really laughing.
We'll hardly even have to cry.

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
