about

Once upon a time, I had to talk myself out of the grave. I was without music for a while, and I watched a lot of my former friends become famous, and make music for a living. I felt (and still do sometimes) like a phantom. Invisible to the world. But I've learned to embrace who I am no matter what. And if I'm still sick, then I'm still sick. And that's fine.

lyrics

So you think you're pretty/But like it or not you're the same as you ever were/And so you think you're ready/But like it or not you're the same as you ever were/It's so hard to understand/it's everything everywhere/I know you can't stand/For everything everywhere/But it's the same thing at the same time/Remind me/I was alone once too
You ain't never been a part of nothing/Running outdoors just to show you something/Front to the back to the side view window/Sinned and again with the Benzo/Let's go get another father/When I find another mother fucker following them bamboo fools/And the rules don't apply when you're choosing to fly/But who can I be when I lose lullabies/But I'm not fooling anybody/I'm just a phantom buddy/Manning the cannons/My fantasies when I handled money/And if I wanted it running in and I cut em with it/Shut up/Rep for the gutter/Right for the butter/Motherfucker what
I will never stop showing that I am so sick/And I will never stop showing the world to you
