lyrics

(Dug)

The general cloud of several sounds
you almost hear but can't put down
the hamster wheel
I ran aground
No I can't stand
to stand around so I lay here
My echo chamber's got a pop filter
and blankets up
I'm in here saying stuff
I really can't escape it much
I'm cold calling bloggers
I'm socially awkward
Rewrite the email seven times
Please profile my song words
Rescheduling our date again
Please do not make me say, "Ahem."
I realize warning you I'm trash
is not a license to be trash
But then, one day I'm gonna die
and I hear then the horn wins
But up until that point
it's all that holds me back from forfeit
It's time to take a moment to
remember that I'm running late
from what I advertise to be my freedom
in the form of an escape
Because it is, into the craft
As in a ship or like a raft
and if it breaks I bet I'll gasp
like I'm surprised or something

(Ryan Liptak)
(Chorus)

Patience makes my head hurt.
Tell me what's your time worth.
Life spent lead in circles.
I think it's time to end.

(Happy Tooth)

Wish there was a way out.
Tell me how to teleport.
When I wrote the pain down
the whole thing felt so self-absorbed.
Don't know what this hell is for.
I woke up again this morning.
Woke up and felt like mourning
more things I keep ignoring.
No one's gotten out alive.
We fixate on how we'll die.
Happens over and over and over
a thousand times.
I work a job to make money
to spend it on art.
To make art about hating my job
and having no money
left for bills or art.
Toxic prophet.
Startin moshpits with lost kids.
Cause when we feel alone
we all need someone to talk with.
I think that I've been here.
Our fates look identical.
All our walls are meant to fall.
And I wish it was preventable.
But if I stay distracted
I can frame the fragments
of all the folks I interacted and laughed with.
I don't know what to do today.
I just wanna recuperate.
If I choose to stay losing faith,
remind me what I used to say.
The future's made from new mistakes.
the music's played
to escape
us.

(Chorus)

(Dug/Happy Tooth)

Always in at least eight places at once
We keep falling asleep and the days turn to months
Greet catastrophe casually
Can't say that I'm glad to see you
but you might as well stay a while
Well I'd hate to smile and not really mean it.
Been forcing it recently,
cycle's repeated
Been feeling defeated.
This realization only really feeds it
Just cause you got demons
don't mean you're genius
It's not a big deal,
it's several small deals combined
Everything feels contrived.
Even if inside, wounds heal in time.
We feel alive only when we're
close to death or over-stressed.
So upset but won't confess
to being a broken mess just yet.
I still see at shows sometimes
old friends from high school
I shout you out because I'm sorry
this is the only time that I'll ever write you
I feel past my prime
Like I am a Raichu
But I've yet to get there,
when I get there
I'll invite you
There's songs I wanna die to.
Got a playlist for my funeral.
We're trying to write the right thing.
Same shit, different musical.
There's nothing I can do at all.
This dream's reoccurring.
In other words,
I've come to terms,
and don't need your reassuring.
