recorded and mixed in audacity

LYRICS

Sometimes, I'm awake
Thinkin' about
Fuckin' things up for myself again
So relax and sit there
My organs know I mean well
Even though they're all gone
But they're content

Drivin' up north
Headin' towards nothin'
Just for a fake laugh
And a stupid smile
I never asked to see
"Lost" painted on your forehead
Looking forward
It's been taunting
Me for a while

Sometimes, I'm in front of the street
Noticing my face in the paint
This is hell
This is far
This is human
This is something where no one
Ever gains

What's there to do
I couldn't even tell you
Everything keeps spinning
Letting me know
That something doesn't feel right
And it's sitting in my chest
Feelin' so low

It's been black outside
For days now
Hope the end of the week
Gets here quick
So there is nothing left to question
Not even the God that I told
To quit

Oh, I'm seein' the dreariness of this
Oh, I'm believin' now that I can't fix this
Oh, I'm seein' the dreariness of this
Oh, I'm believin' now that I can't fix this

    I've been struggling to play my guitar because I don't like to hear my singing voice, thank you for giving me more confidence and inspiration to play and improve. Also for introducing me to a new song & band. You're strange, short videos work miracles for me, hope all the things keeping you busy turn out amazing
