lyrics

what a rude boy
how dare you?
you lost her
she loved you
she sees now your failing
scream and wail but don’t come calling

leave her alone
little worm

got a feeling
gotta feel it to make it work
pull my hair out
grind my teeth down
but it never felt so good
had a feeling that i would

overthink it

i don’t know why i remember
everything that never mattered
tell me secrets of your sorrow
but i want answers now for tomorrow

i don’t know what i need
but i know what i am

got a feeling
gotta feel it to make it work
pull my hair out
grind my teeth down
but it never felt so good
had a feeling that i would

overthink it
realize it
not believe it
try to hide it

wonder why it matters anymore
i don’t know why you came here
wonder why we bothered at all
feel my body fall to pieces
i don’t know why
feel my mind is catching up to me
no surprise

take a beating and love someone
find that nobody’s there

a tornado in the autumn
winter fever, summer’s coming
fury melted with the weather
i don’t care now, did i ever?

got a feeling
gotta feel it to make it work
pull my hair out
grind my teeth down
but it never felt so good
had a feeling that i would

overthink it
realize it
not believe it
try to hide it
understand it
reach inside it
mutilate it
give up on it
(and then forget about it)

Familiar
by Death of the Cool

This is the only cover album worth a damn. Industrial tunes by Izzy, the studio genius behind Peace & Love. I played some guitar on this. Father Octopus
