lyrics

(THE SIGNS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
DISASTER IS IMMINENT.)

(Happy Tooth)

I've got friends who don't believe
in the future or their choices.
I know people that claim clairvoyance
from rare poisons.
Shared voices.
I've seen visions from another time.
There's a universe where everybody
wants to die and nothing's fine.
When I was a kid
I didn't understand anxiety.
I thought everyone felt the same
and so I fought it quietly.
Before I go to the store,
I think of nine car pile ups.
And when I open up the door
it's kinda hard to find the guts.
I'm just catastrophizing,
which is practiced lying.
I tell myself I'm actively dying.
When I'm actually smiling.
Another Saturday,
a masquerade of plastic frames.
I only came to visit cause tomorrow
you might pass away.
I wouldn't wanna see a party
I'm not part of.
Your head craves the hard stuff
regardless of what the heart wants.
And we're all made of stardust.
Eventually those stars collapse.
In my head we play the set,
but nobody starts to clap.
Everything could go wrong again.
The songs'll blend til we're no longer friends
and it's not pretend.
I'm promisin,
that nothin's even happened yet.
But until I laugh at it and catch my breath
I'll still practice death for lack of an active threat.

(Chorus)
It's all in your head.
There's always a threat.

(Dug)

It's already over again
Over and over again.
The worst thing that ever happened
Just like last time
And I'm still dead from that one
It's insurmountable.
Even without all the downward pull
From all the doubt but it's powerful
Still in a drought when it showers too
But anyway, how are you?
I'm just a coward who
is stuck in the past
the way I imagined it
Shame it ain't happened yet
But that doesn't mean that I can forget
or stand for it.
But I can project
the way that I do when it's bad
and I make it disastrous,
yeah that's the step,
no asterisks,
retract your bets
then it's back to bed; like, wait,
what's stopping me?
Besides the self-fulfilling prophecies
It's how I live my life so sloppily.
It's gotta be, the wrong in me
& everyone can tell
I saw it coming
but I did nothing.
I saw it coming
but I did nothing, I said

(Chorus)
