lyrics

I’m getting better, at feeling worse about myself
It’s been a long time, since I’ve looked around this personal hell
And I can tell in an abstract way that today is a beautiful day
But that’s not how it feels inside, this fragile little skull of mine
There’s just this blankness,
This terrible unknown staring out of the abyss
Sometimes I feel safe there, in the cocoon of all my cares

At the bottom of everything, way up above everything,
Is the essence of everything
And unhappy with the song it sings,
This internal disharmony is why everything’s changing
And by changing consistently,
It appears to do so naturally and thus masks the complexity
Of the aspects that we can see,
Of internal disharmony in the essence of everything

I’m getting better, and not drinking or smoking or sleeping so much
It’s been a long time,
But now I finally feel like there’s something I can touch
And I can tell intuitively, that there’s a place in this world for me
And there’s something real inside,
A certain part of me that will always survive
Cuz I’m real and I’m here, and it’s today,
And I’m living day-to-day in a legitimate way
I feel so free here, free from all my fears
For the moment I’m freed from all my fears.
