about

Written about a feeling of frustration, being fed up with myself and the way my brain keeps trying sabotage things. The way it always runs away at the wrong time.

lyrics

I apologise, if my sense of time doesn't align with what you expect. If I've been acting a mess, ain't been smelling my best. Sometimes my mind it wanders aways, like a sailor in the wind.
Like an old man on the drink. Like blood washing down the sink.  Sometimes I drift away...  Perhaps it's time to take myself and my wine, and hit the open road. Shove some powder up my nose, spend some quality time alone. Cause I'm sure as hell not in the mood to talk, with anybody but myself. Oh I'll put my brain up on a shelf. Point may finger at it and yell. What the hell is wrong with you. Look what you made me do. Why do you always whine, waste all my precious time. Be such a bastard to all your friends. Spend so much time pretending,
To be someone they never knew, try to make strangers proud of you. Just to be someone that you don't know. Someone who craves winding up alone.  Or perhaps I'll drift away...

I apologise, if my sense of time doesn't align with what you expect. If I've been acting a mess, ain't been smelling my best. Sometimes my mind it wanders aways, like a sailor in the wind.
Like an old man on the drink. Like blood washing down the sink.  Sometimes I drift away...

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery
