lyrics

I keep earnestly digging
in my backyard to find
skeletal remains buried there.
To show them to anyone
who finds their own similar.
As though that's a substitute
for getting to know you.
See there's a disconnect.
Cause it seems like I want
friends, and fans
and followers, and fame.
But the truth is
I struggle to engage with
the ones closest to me sometimes.
I've been looking for a manufactured purpose.
I've been letting my pain define that purpose.
But I am not my bad days.
Even if that's what I remember most.
We're all in this, together.
But severed.
Despite what some people will tell you
the truth could be in religion,
drugs or health food.
But in the end Rome fell too.
And only you can help you.
And I want there to be a reason for this.
But maybe that reason is
meaninglessness.
And it seems that the risk outweighs the sentiments.
The sun wanted to come out
but the clouds they resented it.
I need something as dense as this
to try and be submerged in.
I'm an artist that
sometimes wants to forget
I'm a person.
And when it worsens
it feels like it just keeps raining.
Like the files got erased,
smashed the frame,
freed the painting.
I won't lie and say it's sunny.
I can't fake that type of effort
when the weather is ugly.

These clothes are soaked
and I didn't bring an umbrella.
Shoulda stayed inside today
and maybe played some Zelda.
Or wrote and acapella
about why it is I do this.
Swimming through these flooded streets.
Fighting with these two fists.

It can't always rain
even in we want it to. (x3)
And it's all the same,
nothings really up to you. x2

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
