about

A song about how the last few years have slowly chipped away at my connection to my community, my "religion" and my self-identity.

lyrics

Oh my god I’m wearing thin
Weathered by this storm I’m in
Gold-leaf pamphlets and neon signs telling me what I should buy
Grind my teeth and tuck my chin
I’m ready for the break and bend
Shed my skin in the chat room light
Reborn creature of the night

Pardon me, I think we’re growing small
No point in pointless points at all

‘Cause I am in the corner
I’m cringing as the “righteous” march in place
I won’t follow orders
Idle in the apathetic pace
You uninspired; blowing smoke!

Drain my brain and suck my blood
You fill me with the plastic crud
Stream my dreams on the astral plane
Gotta, gotta change my lane

Pardon me, I think we’re growing small
No point in pointless points at all

Now I am in the corner
I’m cringing as the “righteous” march in place
I won’t follow orders
Idle in the apathetic pace
You uninspired; blowing smoke!

I want to know myself
And I want to trust my body
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else

I want to love myself
And I want to trust my body
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
