lyrics

Verse 1:
They say these thoughts are temporary, even though they're fucking scary
Had to bury everything since it seemed that no one was caring
Tried to talk about it, but it seems no one would listen
Pushing everyone away, that seemed to be my mission
They say my smile glistens, too bad it's made of fiction
My thoughts are trapped inside a cage and distort mental pictures
My memories are lies, like everything else always seems to be
People leave the second I try saying what they mean to me

Hook:
Everybody got some shit they wanna talk about
But no one else will take the time to stop and hear 'em out
Everybody got shit they don't wanna talk about
But everybody else will pry until they're cracking down

Verse 2:
I think I'm anhedonic nothing seems to bring me joy
Sit with Panasonics trying to slip into a void
Where nothing but the darkness and it's sounds are always haunting me
Have to mute the thoughts in my head that keep going constantly
I can't talk about too much or I'll get sent away
To the torturous Tartarus that they all claim keeps me safe
People ask about my day, I always say I'm tired
Because its honest but it hides the fact I'm drowning in the mire

Hook:
Everybody got some shit they wanna talk about/
But no one else will take the time to stop and hear 'em out/
Everybody got shit they don't wanna talk about/
But everybody else will pry until they're cracking down/

Verse 3:
They say that I'm exaggerating
Feel like the play thing of Satan
Or god, who knows if hes kind?
Fucking with the world and killing his scions
Fire, aether, earth, wind, water
What about darkness Aristotle?
Contents of bottles till I reach the bottom
You act like you've known me since I was a toddler
Even if you did, I would still remain a puzzle/
Even their own kid, they couldn't tell that he was troubled
Subtle hints put everywhere but still they couldn't see it
No comfort with identity or faith in higher beings

Hook:
Everybody got some shit they wanna talk about
But no one else will take the time to stop and hear 'em out
Everybody got shit they don't wanna talk about
But everybody else will pry until they're cracking down
