about

This song is about the various states of denial we create for ourselves to be able to cope with the complete madness that is everyday life.

lyrics

Never did I worry, never did I doubt
Without even thinking I had it all figured out
Lies that I fucking tell myself
It always seems to happen to somebody else
At the expense of society I didn’t see just how they felt

Behind the disguise, I still see through my eyes
Ignore the obvious and embrace all the highs
Moving forward, but counter-clockwise
No wonder reality is such a surprise
I think I have the answer swimming in my head
Will I put them together before I’m fucking dead?
I got a reason for everything just lying on a shelf
But upon a closer look their just lies that I fucking tell myself

Thinking only of me I thought that it’s alright
Funny how I didn’t think it strange I never had a fight
Spend all day smiling, but lying awake in bed
It could be easier to swallow if we just spoke what went unsaid

Behind the disguise, I still see through my eyes
Ignore the obvious and embrace all the highs
Moving forward, but counter-clockwise
No wonder reality is such a surprise
I think I have the answer swimming in my head
Will I put them together before I’m fucking dead?
I got a reason for everything just lying on a shelf
But upon a closer look they’re just lies that I fucking tell myself
