about

The first single from my upcoming EP.

lyrics

Old friend, what’s up with you?
Your eyes a darker shade of blue
Your skin is thin, I see the veins right through

Good god, you’re standing there
In last night’s clothes, no underwear
Your fingers bleed from picking at the skin

You say, “There’s nothing good, and nothing bad,
There’s just what you take and what you’re given.”
You say, “So what if I’m feeling sad?
This loneliness is just a part of living.”

And all the lonely people,
Where do they come from?
You know the song
Do you know the answer yet?

You’ve got nowhere to go,
Each day is a private show
You don’t know your neighbours
Your friends are on the internet.

You say, “There’s nothing good, and nothing bad,
There’s just what you take and what you’re given.”
You say, “So what if I’m feeling sad?
This loneliness is just a part of living.”

Such a long time, such a long time
And still nobody comes
Such a small world, such a small world
And I can’t find no one.

You say, “There’s nothing good, and nothing bad,
There’s just what you take and what you’re given.”
You say, “So what if I’m feeling sad?
This loneliness is just a part of living.”

And you say, “Don’t you look at me like that,
It’s the way it is and there’s no use wishing
Yeah, no shit, you’re feeling sad
This loneliness is the human condition.

This loneliness is just a part of living.”
