about

This is about the anxiety that I try to ignore that keeps me up at night.
It's a reminder to myself that nothing matters and to chill the fuck out sometimes.

lyrics

I stay walkin like I'm stalkin my shadow.
I've been workin like I'm observin the gallows.
I've been to Hell and back
down at the motel.
Room 121, some funny bums,
receiving no help.
Oh well,
let's let life fall to pieces.
Call it what you want
we're all that we've ever needed.
Walk across the land
hope this art permeates.
Lost loves, lost money,
while they stare at my blurry face.
Don't care what you think though
it's fuckin meaningless.
Sing high, swing low
whatever drug is easiest.
Ay yo bro I don't know
where my lighter is.
Or if we'll die from this.
Nothing in mind nihilists.
Head thinkin, "Where's my bed?"
Wearin red around my irises.
Always bein hunted by something
and I'm tired of it.

(Chorus)
I just want to get some sleep.
But these thoughts just keep racing
I just wanted to get,
to get some sleep not fight.
To get some sleep tonight.

Wish I could make my heart stop on command.
Some days it seems so much harder to stand.
No one will remember words that you've said.
Things are so much easier when you're dead.

(Chorus)

Wish I could make my heart stop on command.

"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
