about

thank satan for getting me back on track and not losing my way, completely.

lyrics

Whatever Helps

i moved away and had a plan
that i would just start this all over again, 
clean the slate and escape the madness i was living in
a world full of paranoia and regret
i never intended to become such a mess 
saving room to grow into this human shell 
but i can never tell if my dreams
mean anything more than they seem
cuz certain things are too strange to be coincidence
so i like to think we're all connected somehow in the end.
it took a summer to wreck everything i used to believe in
no control over direction i was headed 
introspective changes led me to a better way,
accepting my place to find peace in myself on this rock in space,

invisible to most, im close to understanding
what i need to be happy
with that being said,
im still lacking motivation to wake up and seize the day,
turning off the news to pretend, its all ok.
start the day off right with steel cut oats
and vitamin c, dark roasted beans,
a thank you note to myself
cuz we all need every little bit of help we can get.
its too easy to give up over the simplest shit.
uggghhh ,
the constant static in the airwaves, 
and the clutter online,
too much to clear up whats wrong or right
divisive propaganda spreading lies,
dividing everyone
disrupting the simulations that run our daily lives.

we can have it all inside our dreams
but we live lost in realitywe can all,keep dreaming on,
find peace of mind and take the lead

deep inside i know that too much time alone will make me crazy,
even tho that contradicts my introverted tendencies, 
ohhhhh,
you would think id be ok with the information at our finger tips,
what more do we need?
reconnecting with my sillyness,
i just dont give a shit anymore what you think about me,
I'll take a slice, some garlic knots with extra parmesan
a side of sauce and a can of welch's grape soda to go
im on the d train home, about an hour away or so.
thinking we should celebrate tonight and unload,
lets bust the fire pit out and ignite,
bring the darkness to light
thank you satan for saving my life
