Why Deny Yourself ?

tell me why
why deny yourself ?
tell me why
why deny yourself ?
if it feels good do it
if it feels good do it
if it feels good do it
if it feels good do it
I'm struggling with my music
I'm struggling with self expression
I'm struggling with romance
and I struggle with depression
I'm not going backwards
I'm not going forwards
The only time is now
and I'm not taking orders

last night I was staying in
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
yesterday I was doing nothing
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
last week I was struggling
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
last month I was suicidal
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
last year I was someone else
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
Tomorrow will be something else
I cant change that but
I can change tonight
I can change tonight

Good Day

It was a good day
took a walk to the shops
bought some food, took it home and cooked it
then I started on the bottle
It tasted good, and then I felt better
it seems that I woke up again
the bottle wasnt empty, the bottle wasnt empty
took a walk to the shops
bought a bottle, took it home and drank it
took a walk to the shops
bought a bottle, took it home and drank it

Trap Lightning
03:41
|
|||
|
too much power and it starts to get frightening
when I hit record you know I'm trying to trap lightning
writing love letters with guitars
bunkering down inside the bars
everyones dead too much these days
everyones trying to erase
writing poetry with guitars
hiding out inside the bars
everyones read too much these days
everyones eyes are getting glazed
writing autobiographies with guitars
drinking upside down in bars
everyones drunk too much these days
everyones acting out their plays
