Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean you're wrong. Of course, it doesn't mean you're right either. Sometimes, you can get in your own way and fumble the bag through an unforced error. Especially if you mistake your paranoia for a superpower. You know what is a superpower though? Self-awareness.

LYRICS:


Can you hear me knocking?
I know that you hear me talking
Why do you keep me waiting?
Always anticipating?

I will break your house down
I can't love you 'cuz I'm

Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you avoid me
(Me! Me! Me!)
Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you'll destroy me
(Me! Me! Me!)

Can you hear me knocking?
I know that you hear me talking
Why do you keep me waiting?
Can't you feel me hating?

I will break your heart now
I can't love you 'cuz I'm

Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you avoid me
(Me! Me! Me!)
Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you'll destroy me
(Me! Me! Me!)

Are all these fears just in my mind?
Or maybe, baby, I'm just blind?
I'm searching so hard for the signs
Listen only if it's unkind
My fear is undefined
So clear but unrefined
All mine, but lost in time
A line without a rhyme

I will burn it all down
I can't love you 'cuz I'm

Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you avoid me
(Me! Me! Me!)
Superparanoid
And I'm sure that you'll destroy me
(Me! Me! Me!)

Avoid me (avoid me)
Destroy me (destroy me)
Deceive me (deceive me)
Don't leave me (don't leave me)
Stop faking (stop faking)
I'm breaking (heart aching)
You bend it (I break it)
Let's end it (can't take it)

Can't take it
Can't take it
Can't take it
CAN'T TAKE IT!

SUPERPARANOID

Hey there, y'all! I'm Funk McPuke, an artist and musician originally from Los Angeles, CA but now living in my own little world.

After being in a bunch of punk and metal bands, I started writing and posting my own music here as a way of journaling feels, processing emotions, having fun with sounds, and annoying my neighbors. I decided early on to always just write whatever I was feeling in the moment and never chase an audience or clicks or clout, the result being that my music is a mix of various styles I like in various balances without any attempt to cater to a particular audience or genre. Depending on the song, you might hear a little punk, metal, grunge, electro, rap, post-hardcore, industrial, or any combination of those and other genres. I like to squish different sounds together and see what happens. If it sounds good, has a catchy hook, and makes me want to either cry or jump on my furniture and break stuff, it gets posted. Soundcloud is my place to play around and have a good time making music I enjoy without overthinking it too much. 

Ymmv. If you like one thing and one thing only -- like, if you're one of those people who believes punk has a uniform or something is "not metal" if it doesn't sound like all the other bands you listen to -- this might not be for you. Or maybe it is. Idk. I'm not the boss of you. Give it a listen and decide for yourself. And, hey, if you don't like one song, try another. You might like that one better.

Either way, I'mma keep writing and posting music for myself. But, y'know, if you find some lyrics you connect with, some hook that makes you bounce around your house, or just something to put on while you FINALLY do those dishes that have been stinking up your kitchen for the past week, then welcome. Even though I'm not chasing an audience, I do love getting messages from people who've connected with something I've made. It makes me feel less alone in the world and, for all those people who've messaged me in the past or will message me in the future, I appreciate you. I truly do. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a listen. I may write this music for myself because I think that's the best way to keep it honest, but I still believe music, like all art, is best when it's shared.
