Jenga Tower

I fell down on my knees and I cried all the tears that I could cry
With my head in my hands and my body shaking to the bone
I am lying here on your kitchen floor again
Good morning, how you doing? Today is a new day.
I can’t believe no one’s smiling when the sun is shining so bright
I am lying here in my favorite park
All we love is dying but we carry on, awaiting the fall
I can’t believe my eyes as I rise to meet the morning
I fight so hard, every day, to not become someone I hate
I am lying here, trying to reach the ceiling
All we love is dying but we carry on, awaiting the fall
Everything we built is crashing down like a Jenga tower
No one wants to take the blame
All we love is dying but we carry on, awaiting the fall

If they’re never gonna make it,
Then we’re never gonna make it
They say it’s out of reach
So why am I still trying?
I tried to paint my thoughts
As meaningful black dots
But as I drew the connections
It-became-a scribbled catastrophe
Nothing really matters
Everyone’s scared to look at themselves in the mirror
Who will pick up the last of us falling?
We built this cruel world
Always lay the blame on others
But once you flip the coin
We’re the “others” to another
We’re sick fucks in disguise
We’re Scotch and Soda in the morning
We’re everything and we’re nothing
Just pissing in the wind.
Nothing really matters
Everyone’s scared to look at themselves in the mirror
Who will pick up the last of us falling?
Nothing really matters
Can we sit and watch the world burn to pieces?

Portuguese Knives

I had a nightmare, these lungs were fucking burning. The scientists said we were given every warning. They’ve been hammering this nail since I was a kid. I had a dream, but how it changed
so quickly. The street came alive with smoke, sirens and panic. We were watching zombie movies, now we’re living zombie lives. Every time I look at them, I got daggers in my eyes. But it’s
not enough to harm them, I can’t seem to make them care. Maybe these daggers aren’t sharp enough,maybe I’m just not close enough. You know I try to do my best, but excuses are getting
old. I wanna pluck out their eyes, and replace them with mine. Why can’t they see what I am seeing? Once you do can’t unsee it. Maybe I should switch the daggers in my eyes for real sharp
Portuguese knives. Violence is wrong, but so is everything.

Need More Empathy

I don’t need anything but time to see my friends
Just need a bit more time to do what I love
Just need a bit more time to work on myself
I’ve been trying as hard as I can but you know now
Trying just isn’t enough. Selfishness for survival failed us
I need more empathy
I don’t need your sympathy
I just need you to see through someone else's eyes
Take two steps back to realize. You won’t make it on your own
And I’ve been trying as hard as I can but you know now
Alone it just isn’t enough [We’ll never try hard enough]
But together we can build something so much better
You need more empathy

LYRICS:
I don’t know what to do with my hands when I sing
But now the question’s moot and I can’t help but think
Now that everyone's sick, it’s kinda weird to claim
That everything is fine, you’re living in denial
Deny your demons, they’ll end up coming back for you
We live in hell so when we die, it’s with nothing to lose
But when we’re gone, I truly hope the memories make you smile
We spend our lives trying to please and end up disappointing you
I don’t know what to do, it’s pretty clear I should
Do something for someone, do everything I can
I feel so full of shame when I’m just standing still
Wasting all these days, lost in apathy
My own worst enemy is the person that I could be
We live in hell so when we die, it’s with nothing to lose
But when we’re gone, I truly hope the memories will make you smile
We spend our lives trying to please and end up disappointing you

Interlude

Rose from the dead in the dark
Marks from the cold tiles all over my body
Suddenly the sunlight enters this hellhole
And shines on this empty room just to remind you that:
When there is nothing
There’s room for something to grow and to give us some hope.

Petty

I was young and I was pissed
I had solutions they dismissed
I was too young to understand
Their big boring bigots plans
I was naive and I was small
But immune to the fall
I threw punches at the walls
Didn’t want to hurt anyone but myself.
Maybe something is wrong with my head
But I keep on laughing when they tell me I might back down
When I’ll realize that we’re all just free falling
When I’ll realize that I’m cosmically nothing.
So I took the figurative gun out of my figurative closet
And try to induce intrinsic motivation to the people I love
“Positivity's just switch in your brain,
Buried under years of neglect”
Maybe something is wrong with my head
But I keep on laughing when they tell me I might back down
When I’ll realize that we’re all just free falling
When I’ll realize that I’m cosmically nothing.
I don’t mean anything.
I might back down.
Cuz I don’t mean anything.
Maybe something is wrong with my head
But I keep on laughing when they tell me I might back down

I'm sorry that I'm often on my phone
But when I'm stressed it calms me down
There's surely better ways to cope, I know,
But right now, that is not helping
I hate everything today.
It’s all compartmentalized
We’re all divided
Did you need a name for it?
Did you need another sub-genre?
To put yourself in until they kick you out?
I’m sorry for every time I yell out of the blue about nothing
Everything is going way too fast and I’m never able to slow it down
Everyone is divided
On useless fucking issues
It doesn’t seem to stop
Will it ever gonna stop?
What the fuck are we doing?
I need to breath in right here.
And I’ll breath out now: “many snakes”

Everything Is Alright

I just had a vision of tomorrow
I was taking deep breaths through my nose
Would you jump off this bridge with your friends?
It depends but probably just for fun
You said:
Everything is alright alright
Everything is alright, so fucking alright
Everything is alright until I start to think about what just ain’t right
I just think about the wasted space
Things that slowly kill us in our dreams
Where everything’s clean and in its place.
Scream my lungs out, dance on what remains
You said:
Everything is alright alright
Everything is alright, so fucking alright
Everything is alright until I start to think about what just ain’t right
You said:
Everything is alright alright
Everything is alright, so fucking alright
Everything is alright until I contemplate
The crushing weight of they’re forced to forfeit everyday
You said:
Everything is alright alright
Everything is alright, so fucking alright
Everything is alright until I start to think about what just ain’t right

Cut It Out

I don’t care anymore I’ll drown
In this hole I’ve been digging for so long
Now the water is mixed with the sand
And these walls are coming down
Conversation spins out into chaos
As my drunk mouth tries to impress
I will swallow my pride
You can’t say I never tried
So cut it out
Slurring my words to express
A perfection that’s out of reach
As the mud drips down from my face
As the blood drips down from my knuckles
So cut it out
I’m just so tired of feeling this
Pulling this glass from my fist
I don’t care anymore I’ll drown
In this hole I’ve been digging for so long

Sadness comes, sadness goes, life remains
I forgot what it was like at the bottom of the sea
If you’re never down you’ll never appreciate being up,
I’m out of my fucking mind
I try to keep my problems far behind
When I’m lost and I cannot find
The rudder that keeps me in line
Where are we headed now?
We went nowhere fast, never thought it’d last
If you’re never down you’ll never appreciate being up,
I’m out of my fucking mind
I try to keep my problems far behind
When I’m lost and I cannot find
The rudder that keeps me in line
I’m out of my fucking mind
You said I’m out of my fucking mind
but I’m just glad we survive
I’m out of my fucking mind
When I try to be more kind
I’m out of my fucking mind
I’m out of my fucking mind
I’m out of my fucking mind
I’m out of my fucking mind

When the high kicks in, I’m doing fine
When the tower falls, I feel so bad
When the mercury drops, at the end of the world,
I need more empathy
When it feels like hell and I miss you all
When we’re arguing on some petty things
Are you punk enough? This is dumb as fuck.
Everything will be alright: just cut out all the bullshit from your life
Be strong
Be everything you wanna be.
Be open-minded.
Feel empathy
I swear I’ll do my best to make it right.
