[Lyric] Verbing With Sobriety (Zack Tharp)

[Verse 1]
It’s been a long night alone here
Drowning myself with cigarettes and cheap beer
And I’ve lost count of the nails I put in my coffin
But I hope I’ve knocked off a few years
Because I’m losing grip on all of my reality
A grip that started off tenuous at best
But if my self-medication won’t heal me
At least the spiders under my skin will take a rest

[Pre-Chorus]
But I shouldn’t talk like that
Someone might hear and tell me Zack
You need to get your shit together
You pathetic narcissistic brat

[Chorus]
But I just restate, reiterate
The words keep pouring off my tongue
Restate, regurgitate
My demons feeding me some
Restate, reiterate
Feel like I’ve been here too long
Restate, regurgitate
Try to salvage the wreck I’ve become
[Post-Chorus]
And I can’t hear anything
In this roar of silence
A torrent of quiet
Everywhere but in my head

[Verse 2]
And I’d like to say that I find it far more noble
To take up arms rather than bear their strings and arrows
But if I lay my heart bare I know I bear them
I’ve come to hold my complacency so dear
I’ve become a fucking parody of myself
The serious artist who drowns his pains in seventh chords and dulcet tones
What’s bad for me is good for music, art is pain and all that jazz
I’m just another kid who can’t be grateful for what he has

[Pre-Chorus]
But I shouldn’t talk like that
Someone might hear and tell me Zack
You need to get your shit together
You pathetic narcissistic brat

[Chorus]
But I just restate, reiterate
The words keep pouring off my tongue
Restate, regurgitate
My demons feeding me some
Restate, reiterate
Feel like I’ve been here too long
Restate, regurgitate
Try to salvage the wreck I’ve become
[Post-Chorus]
And I can’t hear anything
In this roar of silence
A torrent of quiet
Everywhere but in my head

[Outro]
You keep on saying the damn things
I keep repeating the same damn things
You keep on saying the same damn things
I keep on screaming the same things
You keep on saying the same damn things
I keep on screaming the same things
You keep on saying the same damn things
I keep on screaming the same things
You keep on saying the same damn things
I keep on screaming the same things
You keep on saying the same damn things
I keep on screaming the same things
But I shouldn’t talk like that
