lyrics

Woke up with an existential crisis and hangover, and last night’s memories are blurred but I saw into the souls of the artists who I admire most. Five years ago in that same city you changed my life, and last night you reminded me of why, but I was so damn negative on that train ride, and my hand is so shaky that I can’t make a fist. And if I shit out all my problems, there’ll be nothing left inside of me, and I’ll just be skin and bones and I’ll collapse. And who the hell is lying in my head? This corporate drone, this bitter mess. Well, I guess that I don’t live here. My heart just doesn’t live here anymore. Woke up to a couple honest words between the couple that I admire most, and he asks her, “Why is it so hard to tell the ones we love how remarkable they are?” He blames it on “the devil”. I just hold tight to this pillow as my fevered brain stumbles over a couple of thoughts, like how capitalism has fucked my conscience up, and you can blame the state or blame the state of things that we accept, but I’m not helping anyone tonight. And if I scream out all my anger, there’ll be nothing left inside of me, and I’ll just be skin and bones and I’ll collapse. And who the hell is talking in my head? A jaded little boy, a hopeful old man. So don’t tell me that you know me, because I don’t know myself anymore. (Vizzi)
