lyrics
Messed up
I'm alive I don't know if I like it that much
I'll stick around for a little bit longer.
If you don't mind, I'd like a little of your time
To sit here quietly and not have to prove a thing.
To not care about anything.
What do you want to do?
What is the matter with you?
Nobody cares what you do.
Nobody cares what you do.
You run around, run around, you don't know where you're going.
You say you want it but you don't know what it is that you want.
And everything is a problem, we're all in your way.
You say you have a reason but for some reason you won't explain
I'm so sorry, you're messed up, and that's a sad sad fact.
You want to put it all on everybody else, but I'm not that guy;
You're so so so gone.
So we've been through a lot together,
but it really doesn't mean a thing.
If we still can't find a common ground
then who are we trying to fool?
It doesn't matter what you say,
if you're not gonna do.
It's a terrible truth, it's a terrible truth, it's a terrible truth
but someone's gotta say it.
I think you got it all wrong;
The sweetest things all need their salty.
You run around, run around, you don't know where you're going.
You say you want it but you don't know what it is that you want.
Everything is a problem, we're all in your way.
You say you have a reason but for somehow you never seem to say.
I'm so sorry, you're messed up, and that's a sad sad fact.
You want to put it all on everybody else, but I'm not that guy;
You're so so so so so so so so so so so gone.
Keep your fuckin fingers outta my life.
(Codependent borderline)
Stay (Narcissistic)
Stay Away!
(And controlling)
Keep your distance!
I'm alive, I'm alive and I'll be alright.
I'll figure out a way to figure this out alright.
I'll figure this out alright.
As soon as I figure this out I'll be fine.

Music and words, Salomon Appiah and Peter Dolving
This one has rested on my wishlist for far too long. Impossible to stop once you 've pressed play, the band is taking you down a rabbit hole with enchanting tunes while Peter Dolving sings to your ear his most haunting melodies to date. I 'll never understand why this album has not become massive but one of those 300 beautiful wax copies is already on its way to my collection. A true masterpiece in every way. Ioannis Valiakos
