buck-skorski Relateable on an anxiety causing scale, written by a bunch of nerds though... Favorite track: Sharks in the Bathtub.

I wake up on the same goddamn couch To the smell of stale beer and the taste of ash in my mouth All this place has ever given me was doubt Full of people and opinions I’d be better off without Why the hell am I still here To never get out would be my biggest fear And if I die here then surely I’ll have fucked up ‘Cause we are sharks and this is a fucking bathtub Got a constant sinking feeling It’ll be the same until we die We turn too familiar substances Every weekend of our lives Know that it’s a problem The only solution we can find We make friends with habit and enemies of time Why the hell am I still here To never get out would be my biggest fear And if I die here then surely I’ll have fucked up ‘Cause we are sharks and this is a fucking bathtub Where nothing changes It’ll only age us Where we won’t grow We’ll just grow old Told myself a hundred times I need to turn my shit around Pull myself together Get the fuck out of this town ‘Cause everyone wants out but no-one seems to leave And I sure as hell won't Why the hell am I still here To never get out would be my biggest fear And if I die here then surely I’ll have fucked up ‘Cause we are sharks and this is a fucking bathtub

Those shining lights that always drag us in Don’t think these walls can talk, pretty sure they can sing These some old streets and these street light stars Remind us exactly where we are We’ll get together and we’ll get a drink Second nature so we don’t have to think Knowing us we won’t let it stop there We don’t care how, we sure don’t know where We’ll look for stars here on the ground The ones in the sky are nowhere to be found The city glow has destroyed our view But I’ll keep searching while I’m down here with you I wake up still thinking of you Not quite sure where I’ve just come to I hit the streets of this now stranger city The streets are filled but may as well be empty And I can still so clearly see your face We’d still been talking past the start of the day I commit it to memory As all the others fade away We’ll look for stars here on the ground The ones in the sky are nowhere to be found The city glow has destroyed our view But I’ll keep searching while I’m down here with you We walk bridges we’ll cross train tracks We won’t let distance hold us back We’ll find somewhere we feel we belong These nights all end before too long We’ll look for stars here on the ground The ones in the sky are nowhere to be found The city glow has destroyed our view But I’ll keep searching while I’m down here with you We’ll change cities and we’ll change towns I know I can’t always have you around But I know I’ll still see you somewhere Happy just knowing that you’re out there

Swallow 04:14
I don’t know who the fuck you are The liars with the promises that they’re the ones who care And we might swallow that if it was brightly coloured Our solution to the fact that we feel totally ignored As we come to terms with that we’ve got no futures While the ones without a voice are those dying to be heard Whoever you represent I’ve never met And maybe the system works But I sure as hell don’t Struggling with my self worth Hoping someday that I won’t And it weighs down on us These futures of uncertainty Not sure what matters most Doesn’t seem like you or me And we might swallow that if it was brightly coloured Our solution to the fact that we feel totally ignored As we come to terms with that we’ve got no futures While the ones without a voice are those dying to be heard Whoever you represent I’ve never met And if you can’t do a thing for us Then how about the planet Because at the very least You’re also gonna need it Show us you can give a damn That you could grow a spine Do something while you can Before we all run out of time And we might swallow that if it was brightly coloured Our solution to the fact that we feel totally ignored As we come to terms with that we’ve got no futures While the ones without a voice are those dying to be heard Whoever you represent I’ve never met Guess I should be thankful That we’re so fucking free Free to take our own lives or lie dying in the streets And everything we have Just leaves us feeling empty So we’ll search for happiness Where they never told us it would be And we might swallow that if it was brightly coloured Our solution to the fact that we feel totally ignored As we come to terms with that we’ve got no futures While the ones without a voice are those dying to be heard Whoever you represent I’ve never met

Jaded 03:58
I’ve realised I’ll be there for you until the day I die Any time of day or the middle of the night No doubt in my mind No maybe or might You help me feel not so jaded Less annoyed at the world and how I can’t change it You notice all the little things I expect nobody to And that means so damn much to me This one's for you You remind me why I shouldn’t have these doubts You’re the reason that there is so much love in this house I’m so grateful that I have you around And so lucky to have this family we’ve found You help me feel not so jaded Less annoyed at the world and how I can’t change it You notice all the little things I expect nobody to And that means so damn much to me This one's for you And all your precious little notes You leave for me help me find hope When I feel frayed like some old rope I’ll reread them to help me cope You help me feel not so jaded Less annoyed at the world and how I can’t change it You notice all the little things I expect nobody to And that means so damn much to me

mess 01:14
I’m such a fucking mess Going out of my own head Tell myself I do my best But then I look to my friends And realise I hope the know how much they mean to me And the make me want to become the best that I can be Then I think of why we’re here and why everything exists Feelings of constant fear yet no matter I persist To fuck myself at every turn Not sure when I’ll ever learn Get fucked up when I know I shouldn't My time is nothing if not misspent But I know I wouldn’t change a thing if I somehow got the chance And if I have learned anything it’s to not repeat my past But most of all it’s that I’m still a mess

Cheap Beers 03:02
I’ll go grab some dirt cheap beers and party every night just to see you No-one gets into my head Quite the way that you do You’re good to be around Remind me I’ll turn out okay As we hid in your room Safe from the light of day I’ll go grab some dirt cheap beers and party every night just to see you No-one gets into my head Quite the way that you do We both said things we shouldn’t under the influence but now we can’t remember Memories that are victims of the alcohol, Moments shared never happened at all I’ll go grab some dirt cheap beers and party every night just to see you No-one gets into my head Quite the way that you do We don’t care when we get to bed We don’t care where we lay our heads With promises that we can’t keep Made before we drift off to sleep I’ll go grab some dirt cheap beers and party every night just to see you No-one gets into my head Quite the way that you do
