idk I'm tired
Liner Notes
This came to me a couple lines at a time as I was trying to sleep. I render it to you exactly as it was typed into my notes app.
Someone write me a powerful melody before morning.

Lyrics
Chorus: Carefully, carefully roll yourself up into a ball Dribble yourself on the floor up and down the hall Pour yourself into your trousers, one leg at a time Strap yourself into a car crash and make yourself mine Verse: Seductive lies we tell ourselves Where does it end? Someday you may think you've actually made a new friend Follow the line leading you to the popular trends Don't let it hit you on the way out, right where you bend (Tbh that felt more like another chorus, what if this is a song made of choruses?) Ch 3: Cold and friendless is the sea Luckily you've got a friend in me Endure it Secure yourself to the bosom of your Davy Jones Let the vulture-fish gnaw away your bones Chapter 4: Kill your emotion and ransom away your time Don't be afraid of tomorrow, turn on a dime Slip yourself into a silk cigarette-lined sheath Do not examine for monsters underneath

Lots of good stuff in here, I especially like "Follow the line leading you to the popular trends /Don't let it hit you on the way out, right where you bend" and the final line. Cuts through the waking mind right to the dreamy subterranean levels of consciousness.
ohhh i like the metaphor in the first two lines, and i also really enjoy "kill your emotion and ransom away your time". sleepy lyrics do hit different, in a good way 🙂↕️
Oh, these are some compelling lyrics! There’s something about writing in those liminal spaces between sleep and full wakefulness that always seems to produce interesting results.
Wow! So much going on here! Some very interesting imagery! I'd get you a melody if you aren't averse to AI. Just let me know. (I always put a melody on when I read lyrics) Nice!
