Look up.
Calm down.
Solid advice,
but i've come to hate the sound.
It's late,
so get to bed.
It's all in your head.
It's all in your head.
I'm up thinking about
if you think of me,
and if that me is
thinking of you,
thinking how i
think of you.
I've missed a couple pills,
so maybe it's anxiety?
Not doing half the things
my doctor told me i should do, but...
(so far)
I've passed a tipping point.
Just like i "shouldn't have".
Third side of the coin,
spinning 'til i take it back.
(so far)
I know my head is sick,
but i'm more sick of it.
Because I don't want to think myself to death.
Sick of it,
Sick of it,
I'm sick of it.
No, i don't want to think myself to death.
Sick of it,
Sick of it,
I'm sick of it.
Day in,
day out,
bullet-pointing things
that i feel good about.
Chest pains.
Eyes red.
It's all in your head.
It's all in your head.
I'm stuck on thinking now,
what's got the best of me?
I'm upright alright,
but never once
a full day through, and
I haven't eaten,
so maybe i'm out of energy?
Still doing half the things
my doctor told me not to do, but
I've passed a tipping point.
Just like i "shouldn't have".
Third side of the coin,
spinning 'til i take it back.
(so far)
I know my head is sick,
but i'm more sick of it.
Because I don't want to think myself to death.
Sick of it,
Sick of it,
I'm sick of it.
No, i don't want to think myself to death.
Sick of it,
Sick of it,
I'm sick of it.
I tell myself i'm not;
I tell myself a lot,
and I debate
if it's okay
to maybe say i am
picking myself apart,
where do i even start?
I'm just dealing with issues
i always knew i had.
(so far)
I've passed the tipping point.
Just like i "shouldn't have".
Third side of the coin,
spinning 'til i take it back.
(so far)
I'm out of metaphors.
It's harder to explain.
It would be easier
if i could open
up my brain, but
(so far)
i'm missing daylight,
it's not intentional,
it's just assumed
that my habits
are unconventional.
(so far)
I know my head is sick,
but i'm more sick of it.
Because I don't want to think myself to death.

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
