Hypernation

The side of me, the side you never saw then
Is crying out, it begs for your attention
When I was young, I learned my mind was broken
But exactly what it was was never spoken
In outer space, an enigmatic object
A telescope to magnify the hardship
And if there was a chance, I wish I saw it
'Cause I'm at the wheel, I'm half asleep
It's all too much, I'm in too deep now
I don't wanna live in isolation
Something's got to give soon
What does it take to stop this hypernation?
Something's got to give soon
Yeah, something's got to give soon

I stared out from the shore
I felt those icy waters
And when I rode home
In September's dusk
Out in the open
I was alone then
And it's too bad
We threw ourselves at
The wall to see if we'd stick
But now we're falling down
Can bad luck be blamed for this?
I need to blame somebody
'Cause my ragged pulse
Breaks through my chest
Into the open
Spilling my organs

Three Sick Verses
02:01
|

Can I remain innocuous despite myself?
I get fucked up and misbehave, enjoy myself
And I try so hard to be insightful too
But I don't want to be above you
If I was more like yesterday I'd know myself
But I'm half awake, been up to late to talk about
How I've been wronged and I've been lied to so
Yeah I've been down, and I'm just like you
I must admit I get down when I see you now
'Cause I'm a mess when I'm alone inside my house
And I was wrong to be so prideful too
Yeah I was wrong, and I'm just like you

I know that things have changed
And they'll always change
Because it happened to me
And now you're going away
And all that fame
It never happened to me
Tell me something I don't know
While you're still just a stone's throw
Away from me inside my house
Left a message in my brain
To never see the light of day
So wait for me inside my house
Oooooooooooooooo
Those things I wanna say
I'm never gonna say
That always happens to me
And now as you're going away
Will you turn and wave?
You'll never happen to me
Tell me something I don't know
While you're still just a stone's throw
Away from me inside my house
Left a message in my brain
To never see the light of day
So wait for me inside my...
Gotta get a grip on things
I know there's good in the mundane
But it's driving me insane
'Cause it's overdue and I'm not getting younger
Yeah it's overdue and you're still with another
Got a lot to prove and I'm still getting stronger
But it's overdue and you're still with another
Ooooooooooooooooo

Stop Smoking
01:01
|

My pockets are empty
And I'm feeling kind of shy
So I'm standing on the porch alone
And I'm asking for a light
Are you less stressed without me?
Are you feeling more refined?
Do you still stand on the porch alone
Or do you mostly stay inside?
'Cause without you
I've found myself to be useless
And without you
I'm too caught up to dispute it
I'll never get enough of you
Despite all of the things you do
I know that it's just my way of coping when I feel
The world has it out for me
But I still want you
Never know just what to do
And I wonder if I ever stop smoking one day
Will you still need room to breathe?

The Dirge
02:09
|
|||
Something was amiss
The tarot cards on the floor in your bedroom
An omen for you
When you departed
It had me combing my thoughts for an excuse
To see this life through
I won't forget to
The dirge becomes you
I'll suffer right through
I won't forget you
