From the recording Repose
Lyrics
Spinning wheels while standing still
Not a damn thing is feeling real
This medicine's not helping heal
The burning in my chest
A bitter deal, a bit of real
No doubt it's kills, the sound is still
Ringing in my head and there is almost nothin left
Where'd you go away without me
How'd you run so fast, I doubt the
Feet below my legs could carry all the weight upon these
Shoulders, it's so heavy
I can barely stand up straight and drown the demons flying out my mouth piece
How's about we calm it down a second
And breathe for a bit
Seethe in the pit
Be in the moment
It's all in slow motion - no seeds in the bed
Down the hallway and all day the droning hum's never dead
So I'm
Counting stars in the daytime
Counting bars when I make rhymes
I'm always tryna walk in a straight line
Bendin' at the pressure, always waiting for a break time
Sleep on through the daylight
This the way I stay fine
[
And around and around and around we go
And down we go
This the way I stay fine
And down and down and down we go
And around we go
This the way I stay fine
]
Grinding gears, but pushing on
The timing's off, and always wrong
Something's in the water
I can taste it when I'm up at dawn
There's that colder breeze the summer's never carry
Shaking all the windows, cold and frigid, keeps me wary
Eyes up to the heavens, tryna figure where you are
But it's even darker out tonight so I cannot see the stars
There's a pounding in my chest that's itching to escape
The blood under my nails doesn't match the look upon my face
And I feel you slip away
And I feel you less today
I don't feel you in the same way
Like all those years ago back when I was a kid
Now I'm talking to myself like why's it always crash like this
But there's no reason is there
It's just a series of events unfortunate
That lead us from moment to moment til it ends
And then something else begins
Like innocence that too collapses into the spin
[
And around and around and around we go
And down we go
Into the spin
And down and down and down we go
And around we go
Into the spin
]
Interference in the blood, a little noise inside the veins
Turnin' rabbit ears to get a better picture in the brain
Like how's it half the time everything just hurts
Turn the dial, spin it quick, where's the channel that works?
Come on, now, how's about we tone it down a bit
I'm about to blow my spout with clouding doubts developin'
This sunshine's too hot and the night's too long and dark
God, tell me where's the metaphor cause I need this to stop
Don't let it get you
Don't let it tempt you
Cause they will never know what's best for you
And I swear it isn't even like they know you anyway
Wearing wool and only lookin for something somewhere to save
Their only purpose is to drag you to their circus
With the madness, their rashness, and your circuits
Are their target, they wire you up so right and proper
Hop you up on that empty serotonin until they got you
[
And around and around and around we go
And down we go
Until they got you
And down and down and down we go
And around we go
Until they got you
]
