lyrics

Get a grip
Did you really choose a life at sea
And think you wouldn’t bleed?
Learn to behold enormity
And accept there’s no controlling what you reap
But currently you’re floundering
Why’s it so hard to surrender?
Just to establish some normality
There’s so much to remember

Instead I went for a drink and then it turned into eight
I don’t know how to not think
Needed to dissociate
Sometimes I act like a dick
And fall back on my old trends
I’m such a comfort addict
That’s why I lean on liberal friends

‘Cause it’s been kind of a hard week
I’ve been torn apart like shark week
And though I’m dying to speak
I’m afraid I’ll lose all my teeth

Always flee to nature
It’s indifferent to what I think is fair
Play king of the mountain
And triumphantly breathe in the rightful air
Helps for a while but all the things you think you ought to be
Get twisted in some vacant illusion of morality

That’s why I went for a drink and let it turn into eight
I’m not a fan of my shrink
Or at least not as of late
Yeah sure, some progress was made
But there are constant setbacks
I want the sun when in shade
Get burnt then retrace my tracks

‘Cause it’s been kind of a hard month
I guess just like the last one
But maybe when it’s done
I can refocus on someone

Not just me

It’s been kind of a hard year
But regardless, I’m still here
Been non stop ringing in my ear
There’s no ignoring what I fear

I’m listening
Finally
