lyrics

(Happy Tooth)

Things are as they are
cause they were as they were.
I can feel you staring as
I'm learning the curve.
Skepticism is a symptom.
The default position.
By definition it's something
we've all envisioned.
Dreams all conditioned.
And god created overdose.
We sleep in rhythym
and the dog knows when
his owner's home.
We don't mean no harm,
so far.
We just want honest ears.
If I ever bled I had a head
full of my father's fears.
I won't have children,
if they inherit loneliness.
The last thing the world needs
more of is broken kids.
I said what I said.
Embedded in webs.
Indebted in a sense.
Death is repetitive.
Dredging regrets.
Let it unrest.
Let it ache and burn
if it's about to rain.
Invest in my mistakes.
The body breaks when bound in pain.
Things are as they are
cause they were as they were.
Past lives are secrets.
The burden's a blur. (Sure.)
Things are as they are
until they aren't anything.
We don't see death's door
until we start entering.
(Then we sing.)

(Chorus)
I don't know
how I know.
But I don't
know anything.

(Dug)
I inherited some demons
family heirlooms
so I keep them
but I wonder if I am the first
one of us who sees them
it's Hereditary,
blame it on the Paimon
feel that hopelessness
from way up inside your ions
if when you build yourself up a little
it means several more pylons
the things you planned
to do a week ago
they start to pile on
when your
self acceptance
feels like a selfish preference
then you start breaking down,
freezing up,
disconnecting
it's all,
been reflected
even if you're introspective
it's a long conversation,
interject or intercept it
it's a game of telephone
I feel I'm here to interrupt it
fill up all those tears
in a bucket,
on a budget
I'm in public
and I'm wincing from the spotlight
never was a moment
I didn't feel a little not right
it's harder to admit
that all the trauma is a cycle
when you don't know about the wheel
and all the spokes are in denial
yo

(Chorus)

"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
