I wasn't doing too hot when I wrote this song. The lyrics are so scattershot because I wasn't capable of anything else and I think it serves the song's sense of panic quite well. I really did have a panic attack in the middle of writing it.
(I'm doing much better now.)
lyrics
Funny how it all shakes out
a shaggy dog that shames its owner
middle of the traffic, middle of the day
you can tell where you are by the color of the lines
I am where I’ve always been
a beggar on a palanquin
I shaved my head and no one asked
if this is midlife crisis cope shit but it is
I can get away with most
of my self-destruction if I do it quietly
everyone is working, middle of the day
and I had a panic attack for no reason
I think it was the coffee?
I am using every part of the animal
the flesh is “discontent,” the meat is “content”
and I am drowning in its blood
and strangers’ compliments
and emails from enthusiastic organizations
I am interested but I am tired
from stepping over corpses of the recently dead
I know that is nonsense, in the middle of the day
but knowing that it’s nonsense isn’t helpful when night falls
It has been a week since I
had a nosebleed, which I was using to mark days
a ritual calendar that I was using to atone
a modicum of pain that no one could fault me for
the dregs of this
will persist
long beyond
their usefulness
as if they already haven’t yet
I am turning circumspect
a hermit who doesn’t want to leave the cave
but I want so bad to show you what I’ve made
but still you can’t come in
the dregs of this
will persist
long beyond
their usefulness
as if they already haven’t yet
TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
