about

This song was originally written for Jeff's pre-Black Distortion project El Junko and this version retains the original vocals and adds Joey's trademark flow to the proceedings.

lyrics

You choose to live
A shut-in life
You choose to walk
With your eyes cast down

You curl yourself
Into a ball of rage
You hurt yourself
You're the saddest clown

It's a ridiculous predicament
When you find the cure
For your ailment

When sunlight penetrates
The blue sky
Reverberates

You choose to see
As if for the first time
You choose to feel
Though it tears your heart apart

Your spine tingles
You wake up with dry heaves
Oh, you discover things
You begin to live

It's a ridiculous predicament
When you find the cure
For your ailment

When sunlight penetrates
The blue sky
Reverberates

Pull back the veil do you remember when?
I never thought I could smile I was a different man then
And through the years the ends and begins
Finally navigated some losses to wins
I walked away that day I swore never again
That's how it is living life with splintered visions
Embracing desolation spiralling in and out of depression
Into eternity the futility can not be overstated
Some days still I feel like happiness is over rated
But I've been worse I've been better
Does it matter much now?
In a state of homeostasis I can finally breathe
