Focus On the Distraction 03:50
lyrics
buy track
What am I doing wrong? Focus on the distraction What if my will is gone? Focus on the distraction What's after 21? Focus on the distraction What if I wait too long? Focus on the distraction Why can't we get along? Focus on the distraction Why can't I write a song? Focus on the distraction Why is my money gone? Focus on the distraction Why am I so withdrawn? Focus on the distraction. 100 years away 40 down the drain Another fades away Here comes yesterday Now I'm laying down Now I'll pace around Now I'll make some shame Play any game Shiny object New pet project New year counting down You need a new distraction Where's my motivation? Where's my satisfaction? Confidence is gone Focus on the distraction Is this the right someone? Are they moving on? Are we still having fun? How are the wheels still on? Am I just a dumb pawn? How do you carry on? Where's the uh, attraction? Focus on the distraction 365, the same 12 months down the drain Another week in vain Another fruitless day Now I'm getting down Now I'm getting pissed Now I think I missed What I could have hit What am i doing wrong Where has my money gone You do the subtraction Focus on the distraction What am I doing wrong? Why cant I write a song? A tooth needing extraction Focus on the distraction What am i doing wrong? Focus on the distraction Where does this trash come from? Focus on the distraction Where's my motivation? Focus on the distraction Just need to get traction Focus on the distraction What am I doing wrong? Focus on the distraction What if my will is gone? Focus on the distraction What's after 31? Focus on the distraction What if I wait too long? Focus on the distraction Why can't we get along? Focus on the distraction Why can't I write a song? Focus on the distraction Why is my money gone? Focus on the distraction Why am I so withdrawn? Focus on the distraction. Focus on the distraction I need that easy action Itching and scratching Lost to the abstraction Focus on the distraction

Found the Nothing 01:55
lyrics

Wasn't searching Wasn't looking Wasn't trying Slowly dying Downward thinking What's beneath me? Who cares, really? Quickly sinking There's no bottom down here There's no bottom down here There's no bottom down here There's no bottom down here There's no end point No light in sight Nothing to fight No strength, no might Found it Found the nothing Found the nothing Found it Found the nothing Found the nothing Found the nothing Slowly sinking Got me thinking Not panicking Barely breathing Why should I care? Descending lower still Too late for show and tell But right before my eyes The sight of a lifetime Found the nothing Haunted Endless searching Been so long I keep forgetting Where I've been and Where I'm going Now I've finally found the nothing I found it everywhere I found it right here I found it everywhere I found the nothing I found it right here I found the nothing I found the nothing And the nothing found me searching I found the nothing And the nothing found me empty I found the nothing And the nothing saw me coming I found the nothing And the nothing stuck hooks in me I found the end

Broken Teeth, Broken Dreams 01:12
lyrics
buy track
I broke all my teeth On popcorn and candy All while drinking cheap beer Until I fell asleep Who cares what I want Be cause now I can't eat I don't care if I dream I just wake to defeat I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my health Add this fucking feedback Its a private hell Well it's wrecked all my hope Gut my low self esteem I'm a stranger to me Broken teeth, broken dreams My teeth turned to sand That I spit in my hand Happened first in my dreams Nightmares manifested Throbbing exposed nerves Infection burns Yeah, with each broken tooth My mind shattered too Now it whittles away At my bone density Someone dig me a grave Cause I'm going insane I'm flat broke, I can't cope Negative self esteem Now I can't fucking sleep Broken teeth, broken dreams Broken teeth Broken dreams Broken teeth Broken dreams Broken teeth Broken dreams Broken teeth, broken dreams Broken me

Nowhere to Go 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Move fast or slow Got nowhere to go Don't matter, don't ya know Got nowhere to go I'd fight it but I might as well be punching the air Got no hopes no cares Got to get out of here My body feels like a sloth My brain eaten by slugs Fill up my coffee mug Pace a hole in my rug I should go for a walk I can't think I can't talk Light up my millionth smoke Still got nowhere to go No where Nowhere to go No where Nowhere to go No where Nowhere to go No where Got nowhere to It's not a downward spiral I hit the bottom a long time ago Got nowhere to go Look up & looking down Looks the same all around Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go I was a pile Devolved into a puddle And now that I'm frozen I'm ready to be shattered So stomp me into pieces And kick me like you mean it Fling this stupid mess So I've finally have somewhere to go Got nowhere to go got nowhere to go Got nowhere to go I got no sense of control I'm losing all that I know Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go I'm stuck I'm in a rut A stick in the mud My head so far up my ass I shit out these thoughts I try to think of anything that I can try I've tried crying I've tried slowly dying I've tried medication Tried meditation I've tried and I've tried But my will was weak Before this decline I've been so stuck here Paralyzed with fear But the pandemic hit And suddenly I don't give a shit Why is that so? (Nowhere to go) And now you know (Nowhere to go) Move fast or slow You've got no where to go Don't matter, don't ya know You've got nowhere to go Nowhere Got nowhere to go Nowhere to go Got nowhere to… Nowhere Got nowhere to go Nowhere to go Got nowhere to go
