Love Me Back

CHORUS

I could fall in love with life

Life won’t love me back

It’s not a girlfriend or a wife

There’s way too much to unpack

VERSE 1

I could put everything I’ve got

Into this passion that I call mine

But passionate is what I’m not

I guess I’ll settle for just fine

Not enough energy to carry on

Life is better under the blanket

The social contract is just a con

Lowest of lows if you want to rank it

CHORUS

I could fall in love with life

Life won’t love me back

It’s not a girlfriend or a wife

There’s way too much to unpack

VERSE 2

I used to believe in meritocracy

Until they slammed the door in my face

I used to think life was a democracy

Until my vote was stuck in last place

And now I ask myself what’s the point

When the world has forgotten about me

Always been destined to disappoint

The machine pumps along without me

BRIDGE

You could call it a case of apathy

You could call it laziness if that’s better

I don’t know why you’re asking me

Take it up with the real trendsetters

EXTENDED CHORUS

I could fall in love with life

Life won’t love me back

It’s not a girlfriend or a wife

There’s way too much to unpack

I could fall in love with nothing at all

But the abyss won’t love me in return

It’s not a shelter with a roof and walls

It’s an underworld in which I burn

Someplace Else

VERSE 1

Marble halls and diamond ceilings

Still yearning for those feelings

Still can’t see the beauty in the art

Still can’t find the glue for my heart

Roasted beast and potato salad

Buttered greens, I must have them

A temporary fix for my mental tricks

Back to feeling down in the sunset town

CHORUS

I’d rather be someplace else

In a different kind of hell

I’d rather be anywhere else

I need to look after myself

VERSE 2

Dancing troupe playing with fire

Balancing on the highest of wires

Still can’t find my own salvation

No matter how cultured the nation

Glass of wine that tastes so fine

Still the pain is just mine all mine

There really is no heaven on earth

Fuck every mile for what it’s worth

CHORUS

I’d rather be someplace else

In a different kind of hell

I’d rather be anywhere else

I need to look after myself

BRIDGE

Eating pills like candy

Can really come in handy

Fifty percent of the time

It’s still an uphill climb

Relaxing on the beaches

The lessons that it teaches

Money and energy spent

Just to feel internal death

VERSE 3

So far out in the galaxy

The universe is mad at me

I could make a wish on a star

To be taken away somewhere far

But wherever I go, I bring my pain

The expensive bill is always the same

I need a vacation from my broken heart

When will this new journey start?

CHORUS

I’d rather be someplace else

In a different kind of hell

I’d rather be anywhere else

I need to look after myself

Fine

VERSE 1

Watching Metallica shredding up a storm

Having eargasms in this heavy metal porn

Flamethrowers lighting up the fucking sky

So intense in the pit, you could fucking die

A night of badass music is in the books

This thrashed up body is exactly how it looks

You could do it again until the end of days

But when asked about it, you’ll only just say…

DEADPAN CHORUS

It was fine

VERSE 2

Losing your virginity to a Hollywood babe

Porno actresses want to be your love slaves

Cumming your whole body inside out

Orgasms so intense, you can only shout

Sex forever in the sunny beach weather

Who’ll it be today, a chick named Heather?

You could do it again until the end of time

But your only response gives another rhyme:

DEADPAN CHORUS

It was fine

VERSE 3

Driving around on the lunar surface

Floating in the air never felt so perfect

Planet earth is so many miles away

Yet all you can do is fucking say…

DEADPAN CHORUS

It was fine

BRIDGE

I don’t know if it’s laziness

Or a case of mental haziness

Fine is your answer for everything

If it feels good or fucking stings

ENERGETIC CHORUS

It was fine! X4

Lazy Day

VERSE 1

In this world of necromancy

Another rainy day is passing

Nothing to do but fall asleep

For wasted time I will weep

Laziness has taken over me

Blurry vision is all I can see

Novocain on my poor brain

Saturday goes down the drain

CHORUS

If hard work is everything

Show me the tools to bring

Give me the lyrics to sing

I’ll fly with my own wings

If boredom is the sickness

End it with some quickness

Lazy days drain life away

In this bed is where I lay

VERSE 2

In this world inside my head

Everything is buried and dead

Coffins make the best of beds

Ashes to ashes is what I said

Dust to dust, in fire we trust

Light the fuse, ignite the lust

Nothing wants to move today

Slightest twitch is too much pain

CHORUS

If hard work is everything

Show me the tools to bring

Give me the lyrics to sing

I’ll fly with my own wings

If boredom is the sickness

End it with some quickness

Lazy days drain life away

In this bed is where I lay

BRIDGE

Writing my life down on pages

Speaking in the tongues of sages

Rocking on the biggest stages

Lazing until the final ages

Recovery mode is not an excuse

But it’s the one I always choose

Heavy eyelids and a heavy heart

Continue to tear my art apart

VERSE 3

There’s always tomorrow to cure today’s sorrow

Because I know that time is always mine to borrow

Procrastination is a form of indoctrination

Convincing myself that this is my destination

So many of my allies depend on my actions

But all I can give them is less than a fraction

End the day by falling down on my face

Fuck necromancy and fuck this whole place!

CHORUS

If hard work is everything

Show me the tools to bring

Give me the lyrics to sing

I’ll fly with my own wings

If boredom is the sickness

End it with some quickness

Lazy days drain life away

In this bed is where I lay
