about

Exploring a dark alter ego and a desire to expel some negative energy. Our protagonist is not outwardly harmful, just a confused fantasist trying to regain balance after an identity schism. At the songs core is an understanding that every state is temporary.

lyrics

If you're not gonna talk to me
Then how can we get along
Welling up with emotion
I put your name in a song
Maybe a moment of violence
At least the feeling was real
I always try to be honest
But there are things I can't reveal

I'm a mild psychotic
Of the functioning kind
Neither guided by voices
Nor perpetrating a crime
Got a big old ego
With a creative tongue
Just a fictional cowboy
Who keeps forgetting where he's from

It's gonna take a long time to be right to love again

And if this were a movie
Well I'd be played by Timothy Spall
Quiet and friendly
So motivated and all
Absorbing the cruelty like a human shield
Celebrating my body
Well just the parts I keep concealed

I've been playing it backwards
Like I'm looking for signs
Every hidden expression
I've studied multiple times
Got a realisation
I'm in a futile game
Better growing my beard out
Than slowly getting more insane

It's gonna take a long time to be right to love again

Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel like everything depends on you
I don't depend on you
