lyrics

(Happy Tooth)
Yeah I get it.
Now I need a way to get rid of it.
The way the system is,
addiction lives
in advertisements
for dividends.
I'm grim again.
Meant to win
but losing constantly.
Choose the prophecy.
We knew that logically
they were all wrong.
Not strong when I'm just
feelin discombobulated.
It's this job I hate it.
Misfit on occasion.
It's all sickness
I'm a patient.
I'm not embarrassed
I shot the sheriff.
He'd gotten careless.
Like a pair of foster parents
that aren't there.
Let's talk awareness.
Call me versatile.
Naw I'm volatile.
All the while
in denial forcing what you call a smile.
Saw the trial,
what they thought was vital.
Hope they swallow vile vials
full of rotten bile.
Convict a kid
then let an officer go
that shot a child.
Not in style and I hope it
never will be.
Oughta know they better kill me.
Cause I'd never go in guilty.
So I'm filthy,
call me Pigpen.
I need a quick cleanse.
Looking through a thick lens.
Never knowing how far this addiction extends.
It's dim, and we need illumination.
Too many stupid faces
and human racists.
And from the way you've explained this,
the truth must be painless.
But we're still losing wages.
Stuck inside our useless cages.
Seize the day but hate it.
At least the musics sacred.
Ain't it?

"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
