I'd hate to go on about,
things that have been going south,
but lately i'm finding out,
about things i've been choking down.
I've been quiet but i got to be.
There aint much going on for me.
I've been trying to be free,
but now i don't know how.
I've heard from different angles.
Different minds than mine.
They said it's time to come untangled,
and i see why.
But i'm scared.
Everyone i know says this ain't fair.
And when the fix is such a dare,
i've fought a lot to contemplate it.
I should go but i don't know where.
My life didn't have a spare.
What i saw always there,
admitting it's a bitch, i hate it.
Should i start over?
I'm as far as i got and now.
Only gets colder?
You won't fall if you don't look down.
hey.
I haven't seen much first hand
but there's a bit that i understand.
These things come up unplanned,
outrun it and you won't crash land.
Maybe the climb is tall,
and the world is a free for all.
You'll have a net to catch your fall.
I've heard from different angles,
what you call the other side.
They said it's time to come untangled,
And i ain't blind.
But i'm scared.
Everyone i know says this ain't fair.
And when the fix is such a dare,
i've fought a lot to contemplate it.
I should go but i don't know where.
My life didn't have a spare.
What i saw always there,
admitting it's a bitch, i hate it.
Should i start over?
I'm as far as i got and now.
Only gets colder?
You won't fall if you don't look down.
Because there's always a ways out.
No, you won't fall if you don't look down.
Can't kill a demon
just by calling it a monster.
Some perfect strangers
could give you better mantras, i know.
I know it's hard
to stomp on what you had,
but if it's that bad
uproot the ugly truth,
and take it.
Should i start over?
I'm as far as i got and now.
Only gets colder?
You won't fall if you don't look down.
(You killed a demon when you)
Because there's always a ways out
(when you saw it for a monster.)
No, you won't fall if you don't look down.
(I know you'll make it but i'll)
Because there's always a ways out.
(offer you a mantra.)
You won't fall if you don't look down.

Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
