lyrics

I can feel the outer skin of melancholia, choke my shape
Grafting itself to my psyche, suffocated by uncertainty
and it weighs me down, like anchors to my feet

Nervousness, now magnified
Such an unfortunate way to feel

(CHORUS 1)
Such a nuisance, the way this feels
I'm falling apart, the way that I did before
Such a brain-ache, I can't defeat
(It looms when I feel I'm uncertain)

You're so unflinching, the way you steal
All that I am, the way that you did before
Such a pain to live in this life
So when there's nothing I can do
All I can do is
Give myself to you

(VERSE 2)
I can feel the will to be, my catalyst, break my shape
You make it feel so much worse than has to be, every time
Emotions are up on a pedestal, made to be so much more than they are
This feels worse than it should

Uncertainty, now amplified
Such an unfortunate way to live

(CHORUS 2)
Such a nuisance, when I still feel
I'm falling apart, the way that I did before
Such a brain-ache, when you're still here
(It looms when I feel I'm uncertain)

So unrelenting, the way you steal
All that I am, the way that you will again
Such a pain to be, in your sight
So when there's nothing I can do
All I can do is
Give myself to you

Do with me what you will
But I'll never disappear

(Outro)
I'm still here, in this boat
Floating on uncertain shores
Where I'll end up
I'm not so sure

Chemical Mother Mountain Top, Pennsylvania

Aggressively eccentric and hauntingly sulky math-prog with some not-so subtle undertones of sexually charged existential horror....or something like that?
