about

Can I write about real emotions? Or am I only competent at novelty songs about aliens and zombies?

lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’d agree, that I’ve kind of lost the plot here.
Don’t blame me, the rules were broken when I got here.
I always knew we knew the deal,
Yet here I struggle not to feel

[Chorus]
Achilles’ heels across my grave,
The shrieking eels beneath the waves,
Where nothing’s real and nothing’s safe.

[Verse 2]
Good for you, if your need for safety lets up.
No, it’s cool, I didn’t need a heads up.
With nothing to be sorry for,
Let's half not care and half ignore

[Chorus]
Achilles’ heels across my grave,
The shrieking eels beneath the waves,
Where nothing’s real and nothing’s safe.

[Bridge]
And nothing’s good beneath the niceness,
As I suffer for your crisis.
You do what you want to do.
I always love you so run free,
To find what you can’t find in me,
And I’ll be waiting here for you.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I’ll concede, it’s difficult to live through.
What you need, it seems that I can’t give you.
Here’s to a light ahead, because
I feel these train tracks start to buzz.

[Chorus]
Achilles’ heels across my grave,
The shrieking eels beneath the waves,
Where nothing’s real and nothing’s safe.

[Chorus alt]
We’ve gone and thrown away the text.
In deference to life perplexed.
Can’t wait to see what you change next.
