lyrics

Trying to decide for myself
Trying to decide for myself
Paintings avoid the ground
Rain please come toward me now
Trying to provide for ourselves
Trying to provide for ourselves
I feel extinguished now
Crippling is your diction now
Hazmats peel the pictures down
In flames, as was a witch’s gown

Suddenly I was alone again
Suddenly I was alone again
Suddenly I was alone

Knuckle-dragging, Hampden-cabbing
Sleep paralyses I’m having
It’s creeping through my daily happenings
It’s creeping through my daily habits

Suddenly I was alone again
Suddenly I was alone again
Suddenly I was alone

Knuckle-dragging, Hampden-cabbing
Sleep paralyses I’m having
It’s creeping through my daily happenings
It’s creeping through my daily habits

I'll be making my way home back to you
Oh, and I wanna bring wonderful, wonderful news
Cause lately i've gone off-shades of blue
Oh, but i'll yellow them sauntering
Closer to you

Mind, body, soul, winching clouds
Disc icons are disallowed
And hanging up’s the fragrant sound, oh wow
Maybe the void is founded now, oh wow
Oh wow
