about

This song is about hitting a low point in your life and the difficult task of pulling yourself out of a rock bottom mental state.
Huge thanks to Thomas for his verse and Fernando for the guitar solo + outro licks!

lyrics

TF:
I've hit a new minimum
strip me down to skin and bone
Replace my flesh with cinnamon (toast crunch)
My emptiness is infinite (too much)
Let the wind blow me away
Saved from the interim
Tween birth and death, watch me decay
Our lives are limited
But only by our bodies
Meat prisons for the mind
Illusion of self is shoddy
cause we are all intertwined
Just wanna make a connection
But my outputs arent aligned
With no inputs it's all reflection
To this chamber I'm confined
I feel like an open book
But in a different fuckin language
That nobody else can read
To understand my fuckin anguish
I'm so scared of everyone and everything
I cannot handle it
Impaired by my anxiety
Existing in a cycle
Its abusive
Can't stop the thoughts ever intrusive
Can't spot the dross ever elusive so stupid
So screw this, twas all a dream but now I'm lucid
Reclusive, but still feel the need to be included
I'm new here, neurotic to being manipulated
Cannot open up enough to even become acquainted
I'm fearful of new people cuz they'll see me as a coward
So please just give me the power to silence all of my doubters

We can never go back from here
We can not go further down from here
We can get us on track from here, no fear
We can only go up from here

Thomas:
I was on acid when I heard the news
Brother caught up in Kansas with a kilo or two
I was ready to end it that night
Hand steady with the knife
Slice my neck and put out my lights
But I called my sister first
Hysteria I burst out cryin
Like I was my brothers keeper
But was I really tryin
On the phone weepin
And I got my sister sighin
She was tryna keep me calm
But I wasn't really buyin
5 years for supplyin
But he beat that case
Now I'm on the road to Zion
Smile on my face
That I'm still strivin to a better me
Set my fetters free
The good life I'll taste, you'll see
In the sun what a place to be
I'm done wilin with them heathens and thieves
take a backseat chillin with the homies and reeves
Blessed to be alive and I got my slice of pie
Life is a road and I'm finna drive
And I'll never take that fuckin dive, no sir

TF:
We can never go back from here
We can not go further down from here
We can get us on track from here, no fear
We can only go up from here
