Lyrics
Day by day it's been getting worse
And I think this time it's finally real
Driving myself down the garden path makes me
Wish I'd let Jesus take the wheel
As hours turn to days, turn to months, turn to years
I'm still waiting to kick-start my life
My neutral expression seems more melancholic
But I've normally been like this for a while
But I can still fake a smile, keep the charade ongoing
And remain convincing to a degree
If I'm just there to fill a void
Then why is the void less empty without me
I sleep four hours a day, wake up to raging headaches
And the first thing I do is check my phone
I see a world full of people more interesting than me
While I stay here locked in my home
I wake up without anything to look forward to
And just let God have His way
Do nothing but think about doing anything
From morning all the way to midday
Lose all motivation to be productive
Curse myself for being a parasite
Leech off all the people that I claim that I love
As I practice for the invisible choir
I know I've joked about doing it before
But at least I have a reason now
It's the peace of mind at the end of the tunnel
Or maybe, again, I'll chicken out
I sleep four hours a day, wake up to raging headaches
And the first thing I do is check my phone
The feeling of dread after all things were said
Is something I'll never show, cuz it's something they don't need to know
Hey Alex thanks for the therapy sessions
That I get by the couch fire
And Ethan for the later night sessions
When I'd get terminally online
Paolo and Nikolai, they're a package deal
Of consuming awful shows and comics
I appreciate Hugh for always checking up on me
Even when I get too neurotic
I'd name you all one by one
Cuz I love you all to death
But I know naming every single one of you
Will make you feel uncomfortable as hell
To my parents, I'm so sorry that I was never good enough
But you did the best with what you got
I don't know why or how I ended up like this
But I'm not gonna start blaming God
I sleep four hours a day, wake up to raging headaches
And the first thing I do is check my phone
They're all happily enjoying each other's company
So I close my eyes and decide to leave them all alone
If the loneliness is really killing me
Then I'll cut contacts with all of my friends
I'll be moving away without telling my parents
Cuz no one would feel the difference
No one would, but me

I really liked the album 🐊

[@BaralosLark]

Absolutely beautiful album. Thank you for making this.

[@SSVIPER12]

I've never cried while listening to a song, but this album kicked me in the emotional dick. Every song captures something I think about after 3am, or sometimes into the next day, or week, or months. But nothing killed me like that last verse. Fantastic album

[@VisibleThrone44]

I feel seen, heard without speaking a single word, and I loved every minute of this album. This is one of the best albums I have ever listened to, keep going RbtR cause you got a forever fan right here. Thank you

[@RestByTheRiverBand]

It's great to hear that you enjoyed it man

[@AnonBoricua]

Wow this album was really something and I mean awesome good by that, the way you put the words, letters, instruments you are something else, the way you write the music you can feel the emotions and feel relatable to it, you got a lot of potential I really liked the album 10/10

[@RestByTheRiverBand]

I was just writing what I felt. Wasn't planning on it being relatable to some people

[@Kedraofficial]

I have never related to a song this much, there's something about the guitar in which makes my heart crack bit by bit, worth the wait!

[@RestByTheRiverBand]

@@Kedraofficial Hopefully it was, cuz I'm still knocking myself for thinkin it was coming out July kek

[@AlexanderTheOrdinary]

This really encapsulates that feeling where you're too tired to get up but too tired to sleep. One of my favorites for what it says.

[@MikeBierbaum-w3u]

Oh ok now i get why you were laughing your ass of about 4 hours of sleep and headaches
