Indie Stress

Cover Art

a song about being a mess in today's society

The world doesn't really help us to not be broken, now, does it ?

When you realise that you're barely holding things together and not being very healthy, both physically and mentally, to yourself and your immediate circle (family, children). Slow self-destruction through bad habits or through excessive use of coping mechanisms will only make things worse. Like i say, I'm a mess.

 

Lyrics

Drowning in my own sea of confusion
Self-control is only an illusion. I'm a mess,
Can’t you see how much I am in distress?
Can’t you see, beyond this face, see all my disgrace ?
 
Every second gets strung out
I’m not fit to be about
 
Thought are spinning, fast lane
When you’re forced to play their game
Keep on failing, wrapped in shame
nothing here, we'll try again
 
Don’t you see their game they've damned us all to play?
With your shoulders dropped and your arms by your side.
 
Can't you help me see where I'm stuck?
I repeat these anti patterns By the book 
 
I'm in tatters. Trampling over everything that matters 
 
Trapped inside your head , so much remain unsaid
This part of your mind, to you is so unkind,


Drowning in my own shit and delusions. I'm a mess !
Can’t you see how much I'm in distress ?
Can’t you see, beyond this face, see all my disgrace ?
 
Hate yourself, you're so damn lame
Existence burns you like a flame
Scorch your soul, hidden in shame
And give ourselves away, away, away
with what we all say
Give ourselves away with what we don't say
 
Can't you show me how to see through my delusions ?
With all the bullshit stolen truths and the pollution
Your brain all fried, slow burn suicide, in front of your children
who dream every night that you've died
What are you gonna leave behind ?
