No Myth

Young Adult

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

Awfully Apeelin'

Hard To Imagine The Neighbourhood Ever Changing

Stuck with Me

A song about unrequited love.

Lyrics:
After you leave,  I’ll be so alright, it’s true.
It’s not like I’ve got something grand to say to you, like

“You’ll be the only ever one like the only ever ones who came before”.
How could I ever be so dumb to believe I’d be the one you would adore.
 
I wanna be with you. I wanna be with you.
I wanna be just barely hangin’ on. 
I wanna be with you all of the time. I wanna be touched by you every night
I wanna be dancing, dreaming, falling, and weeping for you all of my life

Now your name makes all the life inside me shake. 
I guess God wants us apart for heaven’s sake. But

How could you ever really know? If you never look
You don’t know what you’ll find
I’ve got an effervescent glow
If you’d show me all the dark parts of your mind.
 
I wanna be with you. I wanna be with you.
I wanna be just barely hangin’ on. 
I wanna be with you all of the time. I wanna be touched by you every night.
I wanna be dancing, dreaming, falling, and weeping for you all of my life

I wanna be just barely hanging on when you make me lose control.

Concentrate

So Alright, Cool, Whatever
