break me down
break me down
these atoms i'm using
they're not mine to keep
they're slowly diffusing
every time i sleep
break anything down small enough
it'll start to look the same
build anyone up high enough
they'll forget your name
were lyrics i wanted to sing in this song
but no one wants to hear me sing that- no one wants to hear me sing at all
no one wants to hear me say anything
no one wants to pay four pounds on bandcamp for some shitty album where i sing about how sad i am
you take this song apart and it's no different from anything even slightly like it
no one has any reason to want this
they always say "be true to yourself"
but which part of myself am i supposed to be true to
i'm not some singular whole, some indivisible entity, i'm a human
my whole psyche is made up of thousands, maybe millions of things that have happened to me
people i've met
songs i've listened to
i break myself into pieces and there are a hundred different directions they point in
which of these pieces do i share with other people
who else has that same component to their being
and what is it that makes me me
is it the parts of me that no one else has
or is it the ones i share

every word means something
even when you mumble nothing
there's a million meanings to that sound
when i start screaming
that sound it still has meaning
even if there's no one else around
i'll start to lose my hearing
the whole world starts disappearing oh
i'd like to start to daydream
so that my thoughts don't overflow
i'll try to understand it
worldwide or long abandoned oh
the thousand different voices
speaking with sounds that i don't know
when you stop and listen
things sound a little different
i've never heard my favourite song
my heartbeat quickens
shortness of breath my forehead glistens
i try to scream out what's gone wrong
i'll start to lose my hearing
the whole world starts disappearing oh
i'd like to start to daydream
so that my thoughts don't overflow
i'll try to understand it
worldwide or long abandoned oh
the thousand different voices
speaking with sounds that i don't know
the end bit here contains greetings sent on the golden records on the voyager probes. i don't know what they're saying but that's kind of the point.

i hate the smell of cigarettes
soaked into the walls
they'd tell me
who'd been there before
i miss the smell of those same cigarettes
they were familiar
i loved the people smoking them

i hate the sound of tinnitus
ringing in my ears
it's faded
in the past few years
i miss the painful souvenir
it would remind me
of songs that made me feel alive
i'm living

maybe i'll write a new song
i'd like to look forward to the future
if i knew where it was
i'd like to make myself a better person
if i knew who that was
i stay up late at night
look myself in the eyes
and then I ask why
i just ask myself why
making things better
isn't that easy
oh no
a change in the weather
a change in your feelings
oh no
somebody's better
and they find it easy
you know
a change in the weather
just isn't that easy
you know
maybe i'll write a new song

someday i'd like to be a voyager just like you
and we could meet in the oort cloud in 2332
i would leave behind the planets, the earth the sun and moon
so i could be a voyager
a voyager just like you
let me hear the sounds of earth
dark was the night, cold was the ground
nothing to see, no one's around
i start to fall, there's nothing below
and nothing above but that's all that we know
we're both long gone, i more than you
so much to see, so little to do
i listen hard, nothing is said
no one's alive and no one is dead
someday i'd like to be a voyager just like you
and we could meet in the oort cloud in 2332
i would leave behind the planets, the earth the sun and moon
so i could be a voyager
a voyager just like you
let me hear the sounds of earth

i never dance
i never dance
my body doesn't move
when i want it to
i never dance
i never dance
it's like my body's stuck in a
concentrated state of despair
and disrepair
do you ever look out the window
til you don't feel things anymore
do you ever start feeling nostalgic
for things you never liked before
i'm sad but it's triumphant this time
you can't be sad and wistful with deadlines
with deadlines
and changes to your life
please come outside
the weather's changed outside and now it's nice
i promise it's nice

lying on the ground
as soon as my eyes shut i want to open them again
as soon as the door shuts i think no but then again
lying on the ground
you're my favourite person that i've ever met
and i don't even know if i've met anyone yet
you're my favourite person that i've ever fucking met
lying on the ground

what you don't notice doesn't matter
what you don't know only stings
how many days have you forgotten
how many individual things
nothing is important
no one knows your name
everything is different
except when it's the same
everyone you think of
was born on different days
nothing really matters
when you're in the sunlights gaze
in the sunlights gaze
air feels like a solid
in the sunlights gaze
time has been abolished
in the sunlights gaze
blush and nail polish
in the sunlights gaze
once you're there things feel different
outside is a different place
take a dose of realism
and you still can see no greys
you're just there a few weeks
a short amount of days
when everything gets clearer
it turns into a haze
money isn't real when
there's bills nobody pays
you're just a little kid now
in the sunlights gaze
in the sunlights gaze
air feels like a solid
in the sunlights gaze
time has been abolished
in the sunlights gaze
blush and nail polish
in the sunlights gaze
