orbit

[boardsadmin]

lyrics:

seems that sooner rather than later
life lets you know how it is
you ought not be living
by all standards but your own
humanity will be more pleased
to not have you there
even if you make up part of definition normal
but that is so far from the end it should look like the start
you know you've started living when self criticism is your friend
you sense you might just be alive
when staying still, not moving, staying still
feels like dying
but if self pleasure lasts too long
if self love becomes to strong
hit me, kick me, shut me down
before the shame

for i was the last to orbit
and i'm never coming back down
if down means ground and ground means still
and still means lack of sound

some things you really could have told me
most things i really should have known
yeah i'm not losing time
looking for someone to blame
forgot how to tell a story
something outside my world
outside my brain
