you wake up from like a really weird nightmare, and it's 5am, and the sun's starting to come up a little just enough to make it hard to fall back asleep but not enough to make it easy to wake up
singing soft songs to a synchronized bomb
as the world goes on and on and on
god
this is hopeless
your pretty painted poetry is starting to grow on me
well it's not anymore but it was when i wrote this lyric
and i don't know how to be anything other than this
cover up
cover up now
cover up
c-cover up now
keep one verse change the rest
your voice doesn't work go get some death
you'll never learn you'll never learn you'll never
you aren't capable
maybe i should've wrote these lyrics
maybe i should've wrote this song
maybe i should've not plagiarized from myself
is it?
i hid my corpse in a journal filled with drawn and painted characters
(i don't think it is.)
i'll record another part and i'll imagine a montage that's why it all changes so much
it's showing progress
i'm not making progress
but we've all got lies
i mean
that's okay
everything is gonna be better some day
at least
i hope
and then i saw you there
you were standing somewhere
in my line of sight!
and then i saw you there
what the hell did i do this for!
and then you descend down, down into the world, maybe it's the depths of hell maybe it's just a cave somewhere
but down you go
i'm making
a movie
with people
you can't see
and they look so distraught
when you talk, when you talk talk talk to them
(cover up, cover up now)
behind the scenes footage,
directors commentary,
(cover up, c-cover up now)
thrown in a fire
thrown in a fire
(cover up, cover up now)
deleted scenes,
things you'll never see,
(cover up, c-cover up now)
thrown in a fire
thrown in a fire
you still don't know where you are
and you're still down down down down dead
and the fire burns when it takes your flesh
but you'll be reborn there is no more death
and when you're down you can take one final breath
this is not a way out
this is just another way back in
get you back to where you've been
you can't escape life
and then you don't know really know what happens
cover me in the way you talk
and the way you walk
it's a way of life
and let me know that you're there for me
let me know that you're there
oh what does it take to get away from here!
(don't date people who like your music/art)
and then you were reborn!
(death is gone, left us here)
and then there you were you standing right where you were meant to be!
i love the synths, drum programming, and general songwriting on this album. especially oslo in the summer time.
also almost came out on my birthday. funky flaming top hat
