From the recording Find Myself
Lyrics
Holy shit this can’t be it
You’re far too young to be facing death
Remain in your seat there’s turbulence
Fasten the belt if you wanna live
As it bobs up and down and I leave my seat
I get a chilling thought coming over me
It’s the same thought that I had last week
This plane’s going down you’ll be pan breed
Keep it together, it’s all in your head
You can’t predict the future, no mystic meg
Time to relax you’re covered in sweat
You’ve got to sit back and try get some rest
The longer this lasts the harder it gets
I gotta pray to God and see if that helps
But we only pray to God in our time of need
And of course we’re expecting another good deed
After so long the turbulence will ease
Was this the vision you had last week?
You were convinced you would be deceased
You had written the text to send as you leave
The voice inside had me convinced
The plane goes down and that is it
I need to find a way to mute that shit
I can’t act like this in front of my kids
PARANOID
What does it take to stop these thoughts?
PARANOID
Is there an age when these thoughts will stop?
PARANOID
It’s time and again and it’s weighing me down
PARANOID
It’s wave after wave and I feel like I’m drowning
PARANOID
What does it take to stop these thoughts?
PARANOID
Is there an age when these thoughts will stop?
PARANOID
It’s time and again and it’s weighing me down
PARANOID
It’s wave after wave and I feel like I’m drowning
In my house the clock strikes 12
It just turned midnight chime the bell
I had plans to be in bed by 10
But the paranoia strikes so I’m late again
You locked all the doors to prevent any robbers
Check it once again it’s all for good measure
Holy shit this just got awkward
You broke the handle after all this effort
Got a guard dog that isn’t enough
So I check all the handles ‘til they crumble to dust
Tell my partner she goes nuts
Those locks were new you fuckin cunt!
But the handle isn’t the end of the pain
There are more things I’ve got to ascertain
The gas is off can’t you comprehend?
Nah check it’s off again and again
I already checked I ain’t doing it again
Why am I talking to a voice in my head?
One more check then go to bed
Now I’m talking to myself this is fucking mad
But it’s more than once so I fucking scream
The tears fill up my eyes it seems
I’ve lost this fight to OCD
I wonder if I’ll ever be free
OCD
Like a bad dream it's haunting me
Obsessively
Checking shits off ‘til the death of me
Compulsively
Can't walk away in case I die today
Disorderly
Losing control of my mind and body
PARANOID
What does it take, to stop these thoughts?
PARANOID
Is there an age when these thoughts will stop?
PARANOID
It’s time and again and it’s weighing me down
PARANOID
It’s wave after wave and I feel like I’m drowning
PARANOID
What does it take, to stop these thoughts?
PARANOID
Is there an age when these thoughts will stop?
PARANOID
It’s time and again and it’s weighing me down
PARANOID
It’s wave after wave and I feel like I’m drowning
Paranoia and OCD
They work together to destroy me
Only time that I felt free
Was when I puffed upon that green
Since 13 I’ve always been
Checking shit it seems obscene
It’s a way of life that I cannot hide
These niggling thoughts terrorise my mind
I tell you this if I didn’t have kids
I’m 6 feet under buried in a ditch
Suicidal thoughts I’ve came across
But I was young and glad I stopped
Myself from seeing that shit through
Cause no one gains people only lose
Yes I suffer but so do you
We all have battles but please choose
To stand and fight you have a right
To be down here sharing your life
With ones you love or ones you like
Just seek the help to keep you right
Alternatively you can talk
It’s not easy but here’s a thought
The one you choose may need help too
Instead of 1 life you save 2
