about

A song about screwing everything up, perhaps on purpose.

lyrics

I can't have it, I can't wash it away.
I'm an animal, I was reminded today.
I've got a blackness, I hold it loosely in place.
I lose the will to restrain and my blackness quick overtakes.

A bad habit- push it and bend 'til it breaks.
A bad attitude, I'm grasping, I can't shake it.
I'm sad-sackin'. I'll force a distance between.

A bad habit - I'll force a distance between,
an empty space for the hot air that's leaking out through my seams.
It fills up rapid w/ a fog so thick you can't breathe.
I'll watch you choke as I digest the venom of my spleen.

My strange sadness, it knows its voice will be heard.
It drowns my own amid the echoes of my fumbling words.
The ME I'm lacking points out what I haven't found -
I've spent my life building these houses just to tear 'em back down.
