knives

(Album: the nothing,nowhere. lp - 2015)

"And the hard part was just becoming part of society again; it's like they didn't want me. They didn't want me to be part of their society anymore. So I just decided, fuck it. I'm gonna sleep in a tent, I'm gonna do what I love for a living, which is playing music. And if I just make a little bit of money, I'd rather do what I love with passion and make a little money than go back to contracting and then try to make a lot of money and be part of a society that doesn't even want me no more. Fuck 'em, you know? Fuck society"

Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?
Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?

Solo, so low, so
See I'm feeling so low when I'm solo
But I'm still alone though
Been conducting a ballad but no one can play to
My tempo, my body's a rental
My skeleton's relevant only to me though
The day I was born, signed a deal with the Reaper
Funny how I had no choice in it either
The people around me, they drink by the liter
It turns them all to instinctual creatures
So I confide inside all my anxieties
Some find a God, live the lie, send the bible to tell me that
Don't need a God in the sky, don't abide by a book
Don't confide in a lie when they preaching the hate
Justified by faith, you don't buy all the talk
You're just scared of a coffin, fuck
It's a maze in my mind, I'm amazed that I'm fine
Hey remember the time I was bout age nine
When I didn't get high, wasn't sad all the time? Now I do
Cause we all grew up in suburban homes
When the purpose known was to not grow up
When we grew up, when we grew old, wanna throw up
Now I take nostalgia by the spoonful
Life doesn't feel so beautiful
Fuck it, at least I'm being truthful

Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?
Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?

You almost crashed your car staring at the stars
Life means nothing when you're going nowhere far
You almost crashed your car staring at the stars
Life means nothing when you're going nowhere far

"It's alright. You know, when it comes down to it I came in this world by myself, and when I die I'm gonna be the only one in that coffin"

Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?
Do you think about life?
Do you stay awake at night?
Do you dream about knives?
