Beat by Mr. Dufaux.
Lyrics by Happy Tooth.

lyrics

I'm gonna walk away.
I don't wanna talk today.
I've had a lot to say,
but now I'm feeling withdrawn.
I don't know if it's dawn,
or if this song has
enough relatability
to live long before I'm gone.
And when I'm gone will the world notice?
When all the blood is drawn
what refills a person's oceans?
Hopeless is the vibe
I give off while I'm living.
But we hide inside a lie,
wide-eyed, grit teeth, grinning.
Giving all I got but it isn't much at all.
Crashing into another wall.
While breaking a hundred laws.
Always saying something false to derail a question.
I'm too afraid to convey a detailed confession.
So I digress when I start to write and my heartless eyes,
have a harder time dealing with this part of sight.
I wanna walk away.
Forget my thoughts today.
I'm really not ashamed.
Of what I've got to say.
In an awkward way
this world feels like loneliness.
Like everyone is lost
unaware if home exists.
If it does sometimes
I don't feel like a part of it.
I wish I could connect our sunsets
before our hearts start to quit.
I'm gonna walk away,
so don't be so shocked okay.
The habit that I have
is probably just locked in place.
I need a new excuse
to be a recluse.
I'll sit here forever
and forget that my legs move.
Write 156 songs about how people are confusing.
Then stare at the walls and forget what I was doing.
When I'm long gone,
call this one my swan song.
I'll sing along happily
if you can sing it back to me.
When I'm long gone call this one my swan song.
When I'm long gone call this one my swan song.
I'll sing along happily if you can sing it back to me.

"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
