Nightmare Life

My hero 2.m4a

track #2 from the BLACK JAZZ EP by RLK WATKINS


RLK WATKINS - THE BEAST HAS ARRIVED

woke up one day and I
couldn't find the time to recognize
myself
as i'm washing dishes inside the sink

where did my mind go
everyone else I know
has a life they can lead
but me i'm still dragging my 

feet to where they want to go
I'm still traveling all alone
never meant to turn so cruel
I swear it's got nothing to 

do with you
I know I can't turn my back
gotta face these cold hard facts

money, fame, power, love
I don't even have enough
expressions, emotions, thoughts, ideals
how can you tell which is real
faith in something, fake or nothing
some people just can't take it
dying over religion means your bleeding over fiction

James Nee's Album

Dishes

I'll be alright
just gonna find a little corner to crawl
and hide my face
yea i think i've seen enough of the world

to be able to feel
the exhaustion from overachieving 
so I'm done with beliefs
what is wrong with being plain and dumb
not like I'm trying to be anyone

I packed my bags
yea it's fine to make a few mistakes
gotta learn to be okay
with somebody else pulling the strings

to know what it means
there's underlining text in everything
and all that I have 
is a culmination of my decisions
of which none of them had a good reason

there's no need to explain
that experiences are rather tragic
but there's nothing more priceless
than having a new set of perspective
to improve a false sense of perfection

Crawl

with my back pressed up on a wall
I realize I'm nothing but talk
with the way that I hide my reaction
like it's nothing at all

need to grab my own hand and take action
make reality my very own bastion
I'm ashamed of what I've become
or am I jealous of everyone young

my polemical writings about you
were to justify my own lack of heart
I don't have a good reason to tell you
how my mind was so stuck in the dark

I hope I've grown into someone you could
forgive me for trying too hard
the front that I put up was strong
I was focusing on everything wrong

Polemics

you're the flower, I'm the frame
but my definitions not the
same as it once was
what a shame now that I'm lost
I'm taking it step by step;
watered down delusions at their
best, i've got to take it
no time to rest, i better fake it

I'm blinded by the burden
the apotheosis of confusion
I wish I was born with
a set of woman's intuition

cold blood running down from my head
can't get distracted by the aesthetics and principles 
free myself from all attachments 
end of summer and I'm stuck in a routine
variations of the same old thing
can you inspire me to believe
it's not so dire

when fighting half your demons
there's no reason you shouldn't be laughing
in the face of uncertainty
a pragmatic stance solves everything

Frame

the ballad of danny blonde

it takes time
don't go following the line
it's in your mind
creativity is kind

how could you be so dumb and not see
you can be anything you wanna be
forget the pressures of society
finally free

in a bind
what you hurrying to find
it takes pride
don't go worrying this time

free your mind
creativity is kind
yeah it's alright
don't go following the line

how could you be so dumb and not see
you can be anything you wanna be
forget the pressures of society
finally free

u can be anything
