about

Artist's Statement:
There is way too much that I can say about this track. I am definitely closer to the lyrics on "Wallow (Sadness)" than I am to any other piece I have written. I was stuck in the limbo between happiness and depression the night that I wrote this. I believe that true sadness lies somewhere between the two aforementioned emotions. The beat and the lyrics were written in tandem. This is one of the songs that saw no lyrical revisions at all. The words just plummeted out of my brain and into the physical words as they lie here. When references to a person subtly appear over an extended period of time, I find it best to focus one track on them entirely and get everything out. This was my attempt at doing that. One relationship. One person. One conclusion. Numerous emotions.

lyrics

Wallow (Sadness):
Procrastinating sleep
Dwelling on the deep thoughts that life brought,
Wallow in the sadness
Life is sad - my life is sad - this strife ain't bad - this knife kinda makes me mad

Rip it outta my heart, this is a wonderful wound that life has brought,
But you're the conduit and I'm a slip of paper,
A hand written favor from me to you from life to you from God to you I don't care just know it's true,
It's just you you're the only one for me the only fucking person on this planet that makes me feel free,
Rearrange my neurons so the pain stops (x2),
The train stopped moving, my brain stopped skewing,
Reality with happiness love with sappiness seconds sad with crappiness,
Depression is great I keep lying to myself with upper mental figure eights,
Skating on the surface of my skin with your nails,
Bait is on the surface of your brain with my tales,
Hate is on the horizon - satan's on the summit,
Sex is on the menu so true forth we plummet,
To dumb it down mental before physical friends before benefits and love hate before hate love cause I hate that I love you
And I could never be happier,

(hook)

Rip it outta my soul this is wonderful gouge that only you make full,
You left holes in entire parsecs of my psyche,
We managed to sightsee in this city this landfill of concrete and angles that depresses us both,
You had to leave I know it was necessity and I wasn't,
You had to go and still but still God damnit I know,
Go just go before I change my mind about accepting this low,
About turning this into a show on the street,
Where you can beat the living snot outta me,
Blood and tears, nothing but fear, shear terror,
Near terra firma - sermon on the mountain,
Talking by the fountain, walking through the garden,
Now I make my liver harden,
Cocktails non Molotov take my fucking jacket off,
My hearts on the sleeve but you know what keep it,
I won't miss it without you,
You put the stop to negativity you put the heighten in my heartbeat,
But now it attacks when the thunderclaps I achieve no feat,
My life is joke and my soul is unfurled,
The sun is out let's play hooky from the world,
I wanna say fuck you but you know I still love you,
I call you a bitch but that's just to keep my sanity,
You kept your vanity and I lost my mind,
But I guess I lost it the first time
That I saw you
