1. ain't no stopping my frightening appetite
i snap like a snake, always take the biggest bite oh, too busy chewing, i know i'm not doing it right oh, no one ever told me how to hold a fork and knife so i swallow it whole taking it down losing control ain't no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate ain't no stopping it now 2. ain't no stopping my rising Fahrenheit i'm sick as a dog, always crying every night oh, reticent to medicine, hesitant to taking care oh, cause when everyone leaves, my disease is always there so i swallow it whole taking it down losing control ain't no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate ain't no stopping it now here it comes again better out than in i swallow it whole taking it down losing control ain't no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate ain't no stopping it now here it comes again better out than in Verse: Bm A Chorus: E D Bridge: E Bm are you my friend are you my enemy remember when you used to take good care of me lately you’ve been treating me unbearably ego, ego please let me know where did we go off track ego, ego you got my brain do you got my back are you Jekyll or Hyde it’s still not clear to me are you on my side or just tired of being near to me are you satisfied you got another tear from me we’re gonna have to make things right you gotta let me have a say cause we can’t keep having this fight and i can’t live this way is the weight of the world wreaking its havoc is the state of affairs so scary it hurts is that venomous voice in your head automatic just letting you have it making you feel like dirt baby you're the damn grand canyon baby you're a big great lake you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day you know a landmark kind of life takes time and time is on the way time is on the way carving marvels out of clay yeah time is on the way is the hardest part of your day in the morning turn on your phone, feel alone, and lament does the pressure you feel steal your breath without warning feel that furrowed brow forming making you feel irrelevant baby you're the damn grand canyon baby you're a big great lake you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day you know a landmark kind of life takes time and time is on the way time is on the way carving marvels out of clay yeah time is on the way time is on the way coming round to save the day so slow down, let it pave the way yeah time is on the way Chorus: Bm slide to D Verse: Bm D // Bm A Bm C don't overthink it, don't overdo it sometimes it's good enough to get up and get through it you don't have to kick every single wall down sometimes it's good enough to get up and walk around what's all this talk of getting on the saddle? what's all this talk of climbing back on the horse? what if the saddle's not compatible? what if the horse threw you off your course? what if the thing that you need currently is to stop indulging worry so repeatedly? question marks circle like sharks in your anxiety but their fins are only figments of the swim you see what's all this talk of persevering, all this outrageous talk of getting ahead? if persevering's too severe today, it was courageous just to get out of bed what if the thing that you need currently is to stop indulging worry so repeatedly question marks circle like sharks in your anxiety but their fins are only figments of the swim you see if i wore all the bells, if i blew all the whistles
if i drew the parallels, if i called my officials would you want me? would you want me? if i cashed a bigger check, if i cooked a better dinner if i slept more or less, if i went to bed a winner would you want me? would you want me? if i lost all the weight, if i started medication if i stopped to meditate, if i understood creation would you want me? would you want me?
back away from a snake
play dead for a bear howl at a wolf climb a tree for a deer i know all the protocol when something wild’s coming at you got no clue what to do when i’m the attacker do i run do I hide? do i dig a big hole and climb down or stand my ground and lock eyes? do I demand apologies or do I apologize? when it comes to my beast i’m just doing my best to survive eat for a cold starve for a flu ice for a sprain take an aspirin or two i know these remedies for the sick and bed-ridden got no clue what to do when i’m the affliction i've got a friend who thinks she's jesus but only when she's starting to climb if you take away the storm she's braving i think she does enough saving on her own time she don't need the divine i've got a friend simply known as V to us she gives music away for the joy that it brings she lives beautiful verse after verse and sometimes that chorus can hurt but she's gonna play anyway she's gonna sing she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner round after round swing after swing i've seen some scary shit but i'm not afraid of it cause she gave that gift to me i'm in a band with my friend veronica sometimes she's in command sometimes i tow the line so V i'm gonna wait for you in every single waiting room i don't care how many times cause time always takes time i've got a friend and she's got me i feel unshakeable sadness i feel unbreakable guilt everybody’s just sitting on their axis it’s just the way my axis tilts i think a lot about life i think a lot about death everybody’s trying to do what’s right with the life that they got left won’t you tell me what would you rather be the careless chaff or the worried wheat i’m losing my sense of direction i’m losing my will to proceed done running for reelection im ready to concede who am I to call this hurting who am I to be afraid sometimes your blessing is a burden sometimes a feather is a weight when you're the worried wheat i will get on the saddle i hope this horse can swim right now i don't even want to paddle i’ll be better in the morning |
