Water In Their Lungs

Well, I keep thinking about reaching out
To tell her I still think about
How she turned the narrative around
Claiming I'm the bitch and how she’s killing it
Yeah I have trouble letting go
Any therapist would advice me to
All these privileged problems
Such an embarrassment
A fucking joke, but nobody is laughing
I should just appreciate every single day
I get to spend with my family and friends!
Because everyday there are people drowning in the sea
And everyday there are people struggeling to eat
And the water level’s rising
The gap is getting wider
I’m scared of the future
But acting none the wiser
And while I’m still trying to grasp all of this
Other people
Worry about their kids
being killed by bombs
Worry about starving
or about water in their lungs
Worried about water in their lungs

I’m supposed to write the lyrics to this song
Something deep and meaningful for y’all to sing along
Something witty and smart and profound
Wrapped in the most beautiful sound
But I can’t get my head straight, I’m overwhelmed
There are just too many things to be said
’bout the state of the world or humanities mistakes
Or would you prefer a tale of my heartbreaks?
Too many ideas to be had
So I crawl right back into bed
Can’t seem to get on with it
maybe I should just call it quits
Would anybody care
if I lay my struggles bare?
It’s the curse of the artists
And is there even peace in catharsis?
Tim Kasher’s right
Tim Kasher’s right
Tim Kasher’s right
Art is bloody hard
Tim Kasher’s right
Art is bloody hard
Art is bloody hard
When you don’t know where to start
Tim Kasher’s right
Tim Kasher’s right
Art is bloody hard
When you don’t know where to start
Tim Kasher’s right
Art is bloody hard
But you just gotta
You just gotta
START!

Hold Me Down

What's the last thing that you did that you are proud of?
And are you doing anything to conquer your fear?
I make so many mistakes every single day,
but I don't think I could learn any other way.
Sometimes it hurts, but that's okay.
Pain is just a feeling and it will go away.
It will never hold me down
Regrets and remorse they are my best friends
and they'll stick by me right to the end
But I have the best intentions all the time
I want my gravestone to say
“well at least I fuckin tried"
It is just a feeling and it will go away
It will never hold me down

For The Kids

I love you my darling
I’ll always be there
I’ll take care of you
And this much I swear
In sickness or health
For better or worse
We’ll share everything
Our fortune, our wealth
We’ll build a home
build a family
I’ll work my ass off at the factory
A few years later the passion has gone
Tell me, dear, where did it all go wrong?
You find yourself lying and sneaking around
Hush, little darling, don’t make a sound
Let’s not bring the problems up
The pressure is hard enough
Divorce papers in the mail
The counselors won’t get paid
But we’re still getting laid
„It’s your fault anyway!“
Who cares about the kids?!
The grandchildren?
Who gives a shit?!
I want the money
I want to be right
Ding, ding, ding,
another round
ready – fight!
You pick up a knife
And you stab in the heart
Of the person you once
cherished and loved
Can’t live with the guilt
So you hang yourself
in the attic of the house you two build
Sorry kids, but that’s what we vowed
till death do us part
Yes, till death do us part
