Lyrics

Existential Crisis

I see a distant glow and it blew my mind
A glimpse of happiness that dissipates in time
An epithet vendetta sick and intertwined
My existential crisis is anything but kind

And the answers come and go

So very ordinary tattooed on my skin
When can it all just end to begin it all again

It happened just this way
I've heard it all before
Dear sir, your hat, your coat
I'll show you to the floor

The demons knocking at my door
But I can't face them anymore

Hope, but fear will never end
Splattered themes that never blend
Silly dreams of time machines and changing of the guard
Balanced on the edge I reach too far

Sleep baby sleep
Dream baby dream
Bleed darling bleed
Believe just believe
And you'll see...

I feel beyond all hope
Standing all alone
The kiss of bitterness
Cuts right down to the bone

It's hard to stand in line
To see the others play
The secrets of my youth
Are stolen all away

I guess it goes to show
Now that it's time to go

Choke on tears you can't defend
Rage of silence you extend
Stoic passion never bends
Fate time you can't contend

A simple being with broken wing
And shatter state of mind
If I could only buy more time
