Great song, man-- so many cool riffs. I love these little palm muted sections.

Mental Traffic

Indecision's got me standing still
This stagnant nature pits me against my will
My conscience slowly starts to falter
Choices made begin to alter
Mental traffic jam on both sides
No time left to think or decide

I start to make my way
But it all just turns to shit
Obstructions in the way
But I've started to commit

Truth be told, I'm not quite cut out for this
I'm in paradise if ignorance is bliss
Uncertainty is on the rise
And every move is ill advised
Mental traffic slowing me down
Speeding up my nervous break down

I hold my head up high
But my hopes are held down low
Will everything work out?
Do I even want to know?

I drift away far from the fast lane
Stuck in neutral
What's with my brain?
Mental traffic's where you'll find me
Forward movement is unlikely

Lyrics:

I know i'm not one thousand percent about all of this
but i don't really care
i just want something refreshing...

to feel my lungs expand again
to hear my breath exhale again

goddamn, living is unforgiving

Went Fine, Felt Smoother

Can I tell you all about a place that I know?
At the end of a trail, off a long, wooded road
You come out from the trees and the sky just explodes
And you can feel the sunshine from your hair to your toes 

There’s a sense of stillness and quietude there 
The wind blowing through the grass, the leaves, and your hair. 
And there’s a certain something that hangs in the air
That takes away your troubles, your fears, and your cares. 

So don’t despair. 
Every step you take will bring you closer
Just around the bend the noise is over 
And you’ll just be a note, 
In a masterpiece by earths greatest composer 

Sometimes when I’m feeling stressed I’ll go for a drive 
When I need a reminder of why I’m alive 
When everything is crashing down and I need to hide
I go there, and I breathe in, and I am revived. 

So don’t despair. 
Every step you take will bring you closer
Just around the bend the noise is over 
And you’ll just be a note, 
In a masterpiece of hope,
In a tapestry of oaks and ferns 
and microscopic things you’ve learned 
That were shouted out but never heard 
But now are clear without a word 
In a simple tune from rocks and dirt 
And bugs and butterflies and birds
And bears and brontosauruses 
And you
By earth’s greatest composer
