Things just don't seem okay...

You ever just have those days? Days where you just feel off? You aren’t sad, not exactly depressed, just…there. Today is one of those days for me. I feel like something is missing, like I need something. I just can’t put my finger on what it is. A phone call? A hug? A nap? I don’t know. Perhaps this Salty City is getting me down. I feel suffocated. I want to lock myself up in my apartment all weekend but I know I should probably do the opposite.



Be Here Now- As Tall As Lions


How many days are you afraid
Of turning off?
You'd be amazed how easy
It's been to sleepwalk.
I'm in a state where I can't tell what's right from wrong
I'm making a face
That I've been holding for far too long.


I'm on the cross
There's nothing to hide when all is lost.
I'm on the cross
A truth or a lie, which could be worse?


How many days until
I can see that I'm just fine?
I try and I try but I just need a little time
I haven't slept in one month
Things just don't seem okay
And every time the sun's up
It's a new yesterday

Drill the pressure right out of my head.
Maybe I'm scared.
Maybe I am
Weak and paranoid
When I speak white noise
Pours out from my voice.
Every time I move my lips, it tears
Your little ears to bits
I'm frozen all the time, a deer in headlights
I'll get to the point
You can't depend on love or truth
To get your through


Do you want me to explain?
Are you broken at the bone?
Do you try and rearrange
A better life,
A bigger home?
So turn off the lights
Or at least unplug the phone
I'm a threat when I'm left alone
How many days
Are you afraid of turning off?
Do you feel like letting go?

It's been a good life, I'll be sad to see it go
