Well, actually
Oh my god, you're in that band, that's so cool
Would you mind if I gave you a little bit of advice
about everything?
Well, actually
Your guitarist is working way too hard, you need a second one
Your bass player's alright, but your drummer kind of sounds off sometimes
Or did I hear that wrong?
Well, actually
You know, I feel like I have to keep looking at you and I don't know why
It's fascinating
Have you ever heard of Sonic Youth?
Or Kim Gordon?
It's like you're the same person
Well, actually
You'd be way prettier if you smiled more
Just a bit more pleasant for me to look at
Well, actually
No, I don't make music myself I'll just take up all this space because I can
'cause I'm a man
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Did you seriously come up with all of those words yourself
I couldn't understand half of them
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Would you let me play devil's advocate for just one minute
I'm not entitled
I have rights
You know I love women just as much as the next guy
Please don't reduce me to my gender
It's not right
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
You're getting emotional
Stop being ridiculous
You know, you always do this
Well, actually
I was just making a point, you know
Oh now I'm the bad guy
It's not right
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down

My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences
I've heard death described
As the introduction of ink into water
It isn't an absence
It is an expansion
My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences
Do you ever walk into a room and think
These are all skeletons
These are all skeletons
They're just above ground
Encased in a shell
My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences
Return to the ground
For out of it you were taken
For dust you are
And unto dust you shall return
My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences
And all of that grief
Boiling inside of you could dissolve
Could dissolve into steam
Then escape through your pores
Like a skin-care routine
All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away
it goes away,
it goes away
All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away,
it goes away
it goes away

Kierkegaard
03:27
|

The dizziness of freedom, characterized by a state of inner turmoil
Subjectively unpleasant feelings, over anticipated events
Fear! Shame!
Persistent and pervasive
Apprehension, tension
There's urgency to mention
This fear can be invasive
Fear! Shame!
Fear! Shame!
Of temporal and eternal
Of repentance and remorse
Freedom’s actuality
The possibility of possibility
Fear! Shame!
Fear! Shame!
Fear! Shame!
And now you're standing at the edge of a cliff
What if
You look down over the edge
What if
You experience an aversion to the possibility of falling
Yet at the same time, you feel a terrifying impulse to jump
Because everything can happen at all times
You can make everything happen at all times
You can make everything happen at all times
And everything is in your hands
And everything is in your hands
And everything is in your hands
And no one understands
My thoughts arise, they're tossed aside
I'm paralyzed and terrified
My thoughts arise, they're tossed aside
I'm paralyzed and terrified
My thoughts arise, they're tossed aside
I'm paralyzed and terrified
My thoughts arise, they're tossed aside
I'm paralyzed and terrified

Cognitive Dissonance

On the corner of the church road there's a body laying face down on the pavement
Blood seeping into the cracks of the asphalt but nobody notices
People passing by but not a single soul stops
A tree is best measured when it is down they say
Where is your god now
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he's a shadow of a man and he's just standing there
The first time he came round all bright-eyed and bushy tailed, sun shining, nose in the wind
Standing upright in a town where everything hunches down
Crouches
Unbearably grouching
Lusting and unafraid he was
Full of life
Full of light
Too bad
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he's a shadow of a man and he's just standing there
Unspeakable
Unthinkable
Do we simply look at what’s horrible and forgive it?
Do we simply notice but not see at all?
Truth is a beautiful illusion
But where is your truth now?
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken
Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he’s a shadow of a man and he’s just standing there
Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he’s a shadow of a man and he’s just standing there

All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away,
it goes away,
it goes away
All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away,
it goes away,
it goes away
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away,
it goes away,
it goes away
