A song about my fear of death, intrusive thoughts and searching for answers or hope and coming up empty.
Cheer, ay?
lyrics
There's something evil in here
You say it's in my head
Like that makes it any less real
It's like a fucking monster
That waits beneath my bed
Thanatos makes me his next meal
I've been waiting my whole life
I have been searching my whole life
But I just can't believe it
You say I've got to find my own truth
And that I'm supposed just to show faith
Well, isn't that convenient?
It means you don't have to provide proof
That's not how truth works anyway
There's something evil in here
Right in my fucking head
I can't get him to shut up
Please shut up
Please shut up
Please shut up
Please shut up
Please shut up
I have been searching my whole life
But I just can't believe it
You say I've got to find my own truth
And that I'm supposed just to show faith
Well, isn't that convenient?
It means you don't have to provide proof
That's not how truth works anyway
That's not how truth works anyway
