about

This song is about my own cognitive dissonance.

lyrics

Wouldn't it be nice
If all I wanted was peace and quiet
but I want peace and I want quiet and I want war to go beside it
Oh Wouldn't it be nice

Breaking down and feeling better than ever
Cus i've got super glue keeping me together
and if a piece falls off well that's just fine
I'm sure I'll find it again sometime

Welcome to the chaos in my mind

I left my diary opened and open ended
cause i wasn't even sure if I could tell I was pretending
to not feel anything maybe that is why I sing
to mean anything to any of those people I unfriended

Does it count as bottling it up if I never talk about it
but I'm always writing songs that make it so obvious
Recognition might be all I want in the end
but you said you like my songs so, say it again, say it again, say it again

I am on fire, but I am so numb
I cannot stop talking, till it renders me dumb
And I am part of something, but I don't know where I'm from
And I wanna be with you, but we are not one
