lyrics

Anxieties in a black hole
full of deep regrets and broken whores
if I could ever get to feel you
my love would tear apart and kill you

take time to get the situation
try to understand the devil nature
when I find myself inside a bottle
go on and hit that shit full throttle

go on and work it out

(chorus)

I see your face when I’m bleeding and I
still call your name when I’m sleeping and I
drown in the secrets I’m keeping and I
can’t stop my mind from repeating

gotta go back home so I can meditate
taking too much time, I never get it straight
leave it all to me to overcompensate
she tells me everything will be okay

I see myself in magazines
billboards and silver movie screens
a different world inside my head
before I come back down again

sleep soft while breathing through the static
sweet moments when I thought I had it
wash up in dirty, lonely dreams
my fingers dipped in vaseline

and then I work it out

(chorus)

gotta go back home so I can concentrate
taking too much time, I never mediate
we’re talking so much pain I can’t alleviate
she tells me everything will be okay

just one more verse on top of this
gotta make up time, you know how it is
and I found that I don’t even know you
most people never even come to

and when I think of all the drugs I’ve done
I remember every single goddamn one
every time I used I fell apart
fly close to the sun (son), closer to god

and then I work it out

(chorus)
