Daily Death Anxiety Song

Will Oldham sees a darkness, but me I can't see shit
So I put on my favourite hoody and just get on with it
With my million songs about love
and my million songs about dying
If I ever say I've made head nor tails of that shit I'm lying
Amanda don't wake me.
I've seen it all before.
And Will Oldham's got a new partner and me I do to
and he can do all the things that you could never do
With my million song about laughing
and my million songs about crying
If I ever said I've made head nor tails of that shit I'm lying
Amanda, do you ever think of me?

I'm going through another period where I can't sleep
cause my thoughts they always seem to turn to death
and I know it's a pretty stupid way to spend my time,
the precious time I have left
But my father he died when he was 45 my cousin I think he was 43
Me I'm 26 and I'm really bad at math.
So how long does that leave me?
It's just another song about death.
Don't worry up next I'll sing a love song and you can enjoy the time that we have left.

It's only Monday and I'm sick of you already,
and when I say "you" I mean "me" of course
And when I say I really need you I really mean it
and when I say I really miss you It hurts a lot
I've fucked so much things up in the past
I'm sorry but this time I'll try to play it cool
And everything I do
I'm always thinking of you
I don't know how I survived with you alone
You're the blood running through my hollow bones.
Crack them open. Count the rings.
See how much I've grown.
Now It's Friday, and I'm looking you in the eye
and when you say you really love me, I know you mean it
You say the smile on my face looks fake
but it's not because you make me feel so real.
I've fucked so much things up in the past
(I am clinging on for dear life)

Let's read your yearbook in the dark.
Where is Mark?
Cause he lives for shit like this.
They've all gone, gone to bed but in my head.
I'm a picture that you point to.
Like "Oh him? Sat in front. What a dream, What a catch he was"
Never thought It'd be true
Never thought I could have you.
With all my imperfections, why am I still here?
Singing to a mirror as my eyes well up with tears.
I just stand and grasp at moments.
Moments long since past and remember that my heart still beats as fast.
Out in the sun, out in the park
Hear him bark! I still think that he's your favourite
Now we sleep, sleep in bed but in my head
I'm a picture that you point to
Like "Oh him? What a wimp, oh so mean, what a dick he was"
I just hope it don't come true.
Oh I hope I can keep you.

We walked so far my legs started shaking
and I love you so much I feel my heart breaking in half when you laugh
Like when I put my feet in the sink like a bath
or when I charted our love t my friend in a graph
and felt his wrath, ever calm and collected
You should never trust a man who plays guitar and can't read a map
Trust the one's in the waistcoats curly moustache
With their hands behind their backs...
We talked so long my voice started breaking,
So we're walking home as everyone else is taking their heads from their bed
Tried saying you were my best friend- shot it dead
So I said ever calm and collected
"You're not the one for me"
You, I trust you with my life.

We Are Sharks

Somebody loved you once- What are you gonna do?
Just gonna run around all weekend telling people you're not blue?
And I'm sure I saw him hold your hand once under the table
and I'm sure he'd love you forever, if he was able
But now he's something to somebody else
and you wanna spend your time with anybody but yourself
and I'm sorry for that
Yeah I'm sorry for whatever It was it I did to you
and Yeah I'm sorry for whatever the fuck it was I put you through
I'm not be clever, but I'm not blind.
So I can see this isn't how you want to spend your time.
You made another mistake last night, what are we gonna do?
Just gonna come- tell me things have gotta change, til your face turns blue?
I say we're big enough, and ugly enough to start using labels
Oh I would answer your question if I was even close to able
But I'm busy being something to somebody else
and your busy spending your time with anybody but yourself
and I'm sorry for that.
We are sharks.

Watching Kelis videos, hungover on the couch
Trying to think of songs that make me think of you
But with my head in such a silly, fragile state,
singing along to Bossy is all that I could do.
and I recall the night before on a bench outside your flat-
I lay down and said I'd never leave
but my friends they picked me up and threw me in the car
and they drove me home singing "in a jar"
and I never thought we'd get here.
Never thought I'd feel this old.
I wonder if I didn't have this poison running through my system
If I'd ever be so bold?
Maybe it's time I gave it up?!
Found solace in some other stuff.
I know I've said this all million times before and I always call my own bluff.
and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
(I know I'm not)
You're watching Halloween, I'm sinking into death
or that's what I'd like the public to believe
and I dread to think the day your patience does run out
I can only imagine what you'll see and what you'll do
when you have to pick me up in the middle of the night
Talking shit, stinking of booze.
You know that I'd do anything. I'd do anything for you.
You're the one thing I never want to lose!

I went down to the shouting sea,
Taking Christopher down with me,
For Nurse had given us sixpence each-
And down we went to the beach.
We had sand in the eyes and the ears and the nose,
And sand in the hair, and sand-between-the-toes.
Whenever a good nor'wester blows,
Christopher is certain of
Sand-between-the-toes.
The sea was galloping grey and white;
Christopher clutched his sixpence tight;
We clambered over the humping sand-
And Christopher held my hand.
We had sand in the eyes and the ears and the nose,
And sand in the hair, and sand-between-the-toes.
Whenever a good nor'wester blows,
Christopher is certain of
Sand-between-the-toes.
There was a roaring in the sky;
The sea-gulls cried as they blew by;
We tried to talk, but had to shout-
Nobody else was out.
When we got home, we had sand in the hair,
In the eyes and the ears and everywhere;
Whenever a good nor'wester blows,
Christopher is found with
Sand-between-the-toes.

could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense.
