I DONT NEED NOBODY, THATS WHAT I TELL MYSELF
SLEEPYTIME AND HONEY RIGHT THERE ON MY SHELF
LADIES ON THE INTERNET SAY NICE THINGS TO ME
WHEN I RUN OUT OF MONEY, NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME
IT’S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY, SO I DON’T LEAVE MY HOUSE
I POP PILLS IN THE MORNING, HELL I POP PILLS ALL DAY LONG
SEE I’VE GOT A FEAR, OF JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
MY HANDS SHAKE, MY BODY ACHES, RIGHT NOW MY FACE IS NUMB
WHY AM I AFRAID
WHY AM I THIS WAY
WHY AM I AFRAID
AND WILL IT EVER GO AWAY

P Ferguson - Freezing

Winters cold has returned, I close my eyes
I’m impressed with the thought of dreaming
And the days go by ever slowly now
I’m awakened to find nothing changed
We pass this by
We close our eyes
We call this thing freezing
Some will give in
Some won’t return
We call this thing freezing
I shake when I’m alone too long
I scratch myself til I’m bleeding
I start again, then I shut down
All Eyes on me, all eyes on
We pass this by
We close our eyes
We call this thing freezing
Some will give in
Some won’t return
We call this thing freezing
Out under the moon
I howl and cry
I will wake up again
Alone and dry
All bent but alive
We call this thing freezing

First I heard
I ain’t fixed right
everything’s a joke
Saw my name in the
Piece of sky
Through the hole the sun has broke
She took my hand
To the street below
Ready for a boy’s new game
I stole her cloth
I stole her words
And I lied about my name
All the rivers come
From that one before
All the way back to the sea
Lay your pain inside
And you wash away
The water flows around your feet
She led me down
Where the river flowed
preacher sang so sweet
The lame cried high
The sick cried low
The man just shift his feet
“Tell me why you’re here
if that’s why you come
Just turn around and go
Think you’ll leave your pain
at the river side
To be washed away, so slow?”
All the rivers come
From that one before
All the way back to the sea
Lay your pain inside
And you wash away
The water flows around your feet
Won’t find sleep
Til I leave my pain
In the shallows of the
Rich red river flow
In the falling of the rich red rain
Thought I saw some
Paradise
but the face, it disappeared
Plunge my eyes
Til the current caught
No more fury no more fear
All the rivers come
From that one before
All the way back to the sea
Lay your pain inside
And you wash away
The water flows around your feet
Won’t find sleep
Til I leave my pain
In the shallows of the
Rich red river flow
In the falling of the rich red rain

Sometimes I realize I'm fuckin happy
Sometimes it feels like I've struck gold
And sleep feels like it's overrated
and I feel like I will never get old
I don't mind if the moment's gilded
Not all that glitters is always pure
after the moment passes
I return to being unsure
Is it always just so fleeting
will the moment always pass
am I a fool to think this feeling
will always last
Can I make it stay forever
this moment that I hold
and my mind turns to reflection
and I remember when I struck gold
In the blooms of your recognition
In the warmth of your glowing smile
Every turn I took has depth
and I love every crooked mile
that brought me to this moment
I'll dig eternal just to find
a few flakes of your attention
that calms a foolish mind
Is it always just so fleeting
will the moment always pass
am I a fool to think this feeling
will always last
And when you turn away
the shadow's always cold
compared to the halcyon days
of when I struck gold

Suuusun - I. AM. O. K.

I am o k
This isn't too bad
I think it's working
Or is this Franz?
What if they notice?
What if they don't?
Am I a fraud?
How did this happen?
What was I thinking?
Why did I try?
I am o k
My nerves are electric
They need a reset
I need some sleep
It is what it is
It is what it isn't
Out in the deep
I am o k

Counting Sheep
Jump in the vortex
Of endless anxiety
Far as the eye can see
No use resisting
Just go on existing
No one sees underneath
Sleep, oh, sleep
Thoughts that creep
Up in the night
Oh, leave me be!
Sleep, oh, sleep
Counting sheep
All night long
Please let me sleep
Been this way
Long as I remember
Thoughts they glow like embers
Down deep dark tunnels
Pour it in a funnel
And get some peace for once
Worried about…
What am I worried about?!
About everything and anything!
Anything on my mind
Can’t help it
It’s the reason I lose sleep…

Gliding in slowly
She invites the rain
Freezing and timeless
Her shiv’ring refrain
Dancing to music
That runs down the spine
Leaving me frightened
And doubting my mind
Sweet Annie Tempest
Please grant me reprieve
Show me this kindness
I need some relief
Your kisses so cold
A terrible chill
And here I am held
Against my will
Pressure is building
No solace today
Annie of madness
She takes me away
Naphthalene river
Of fear and distrust
Carries me blithely
To kingdoms of rust
Sweet Annie Tempest
Please grant me reprieve
Show me this kindness
I need some relief
Your kisses so cold
A terrible chill
And here I am held
Against my will
Left there in earnest
My love does deride
Sweet Annie Tempest
My cold blooded bride

Far From The Sun
Did I come this way before
or did I just a lose my way
Am I back where I begun
Suffocating parlor game
Once in a while I ask myself a question
Look in the mirror can’t see my reflection
Who knows where the river bends
Who knows where the road will end
Far from the Sun
Far from the Sun
Feel the trembling in my knees
hands are shaking ill at ease
Tired of phony guarantees
coming from the wannabees
had my fill of bad intentions
Getting squeezed and indigestion
Who knows where the river bends
Who knows where the road will end
Far from the Sun
Far from the Sun
Far from the sun I give myself away
Far from the Sun I crash into the waves
Far from the Sun I’m counting down the days
Far from the Sun
Did i come this way before
or did I just a lose my way
Am I back where I begun
Suffocating parlor game
Once in a while I ask myself a question
Look in the mirror can’t see my reflection
Who knows where the river bends
Who knows where the road will end
Far from the Sun
Far from the Sun

vFriday nights are usually the worst
Pressure pushing down like aching thurst
Even if I never make a sound
Not sure if it’s the wine or the crazy world around
I don’t sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
Soldiers in a battle, some long forgotten war
I don’t sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
Sanity and sorrow hard to think
Mixed up like a bartenders next drink
Even when I’m having a good day
Not sure it will last, or quickly fade away
I don’t sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
Soldiers in a battle, some long forgotten war
I don’t sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore

v1:
It's not just terrifying
It's more like paralyzing // I can't move
-----
It's nothing like sadness
And don't you call it madness // That's not true
ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the dawn
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes... to carry on
v2:
It's not so horrifying
The opposite of flying // It's running on ice
-----
A multitude of questions
We need no intercession // so don't think twice
ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the dawn
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes... to carry on
br:
So take your foot off the gas and hit the brakes
This, too, shall pass, no matter what it takes
-----
So take your foot off the gas and hit the brakes
This, too, shall pass, no matter what it takes
v3:
It's not just paralyzing
It's more like hypnotizing // I can't see
-----
It's nothing like sorrow
Beg, steal, or borrow // It's all free
ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the night
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes...
You should know it's hard... sometimes...
You should know it's hard... sometimes...

Emily Stewart - Worryin'
02:30

My daddy likes to rattle
The doorknobs every night
He’s just makin sure
The house is locked up tight
One night, he ‘bout rattled
The knob right off the door
It came off with Momma’s keys
And landed on the floor
Sometimes all that worry
Can eat you up at night
You say you just want peace,
But you’ve got dogs in every fight
You’ve got Ernie on one shoulder
Tellin’ you to chill
Bert is on the other
And you wish he’d take his pills
Lettin go ain’t easy, but
Darlin, rest assured
Chances are that worryin’s
Gon’ cause more harm than good
My great-grandma Bobo
Loved to worry, too
Bout Grandma, Uncle David,
Aunt Lorraine and me and you
When anyone fell ill, Lord
She’d hem and haw and fuss
With kerosene and turpentine
She medicated us
Sometimes all that worry
Can eat you up at night
You say you just want peace,
But you’ve got dogs in every fight
You’ve got Ernie on one shoulder
Tellin’ you to chill
Bert is on the other
And you wish he’d take his pills
Lettin’ go ain’t easy
Hangin’ on hurts more
Ration out those worries
When you know your mind’s at war
Lettin go ain’t easy, but
Darlin, rest assured
Chances are that worryin’s
Gon’ cause more harm than good

“Change the Band-Aid”
Wake up in the morning Wondering which day it is
Which bills are due this week and will I make the ends
Splash some water on my face and take a good look inside
To question if the man I am would be better left behind
Coffee and a spirit become two, three or four
Temporary sanity but really mortar for more
Problems that I should have faced a long ways back
But I’ll just change the Band-Aid to cover up the next attack
Squeeze between the jersey walls on the interstate
Trying not to die from the guy texting that he’s late
Tires are bald it’s using oil and well past 200k
The rest are all just killing grass on the edge of the driveway
Coffee and a spirit become two, three or four
Temporary sanity but really mortar for more
Problems that I should have faced a long ways back
But I’ll just change the Band-Aid to cover up the next attack
Got enough to make the payments
But I may just have to slip
Swipe that card for a stronger link
But a week’s worth of lists
All the while try to process news and politics
Downbeat then a good steady two, three and four
Lead the way, escape like riders on the storm
Forget the problems and social quandaries
Pressure’s on the Band-Aid bleeding anxiety
No matter how you say
Things are going to be ok
Baby, I don’t feel so great
One foot hovering the grave
It’s all hurry up and wait
Let’s all hurry up and wait
