LYRICS
Spend time filling up that hole
Cos I feel awful and empty
I feel awful and empty
I feel awful and empty

Arrive in Italy at dusk and feel the cool air on my face
Try to shake away the thoughts that I had earlier today
Feeling worn out, red and raw
Sometimes I fervently believe that I wont live very long at all

I’ve been forgetting slowly
Sometimes I still read things in your voice
Sometimes I still read things in your voice
Sometimes I still read things in your voice

LYRICS

Between cycles of news of great floods
And forests on fire, look for the flashes
Glimmers of joy, good people helping 
They lay in the roads, they lighten the load
Of heavy days after days
Days after days

The thick skin you grow, is it really a blessing?
What’s a suit of armor when your ship is sinking
To be soft is a form of defense
I don't want to forget
What those lessons meant

Homes underwater or scorched by blazes
The rich making puzzles, always evasive
Placated concern, laugh at us in private
Just barely hiding contempt for our struggle
More heavy days after days
Days after days

Your fists clenched tight
Knuckles turned to white
Turned us on each other
Nothing feels right
A lifetime of class war
When somebody shook the jar
If we uplift each other
We could go so far

LYRICS

All my friends are depressed 
Over worked under stress
Just trying to make it through the year with less and less
All my friends are getting sick 
Weighted down with politics 
Something in reality doesn’t quite click

If your escapism is a sign
That something in your stars aren’t quite in line
Change what you can,  what you control
Let the rest wash over you, try not to fold

All my friends under duress
Waiting for whatever’s next
What can be taken to cut us off at the knees
All my friends are in a mess
Scrambling for security
And I’m not an exception by any stretch 

If your escapism is a sign
That something in your stars aren’t quite in line
Change what you can,  what you control
Let the rest wash over you, try not to fold

Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious 
We’re all just rain clouds with a sunny disposition 

If your escapism is a sign
That something in your stars aren’t quite in line
Change what you can,  what you control
Let the rest wash over you, try not to fold

LYRICS

You made me supersad
By dumping me in the trash
No toxic waste and not a spider bite
could give me power to put my heart back right

My tough arms can tear you limb from limb
And sharp teeth just wanna dig on in
Yeah, I can fly or turn invisible
But it's no good I'm fucking miserable

Cos I thought we could do everything
But right now I can't do anything

I'm sorry, I'm not giving in
On the city that I'm living in
God I hope it's the kind of place
Days I save never go away

Cos I thought we could do everything
But right now I can't do anything

HAMBURGER - Supersad
