Swimming Through The Milky Way

I wonder if we're all insane Because the way that I feel tends to lean that way And I'm never afraid to admit the to truth that I have no idea about what to do Every single second is a wash in time with every one screaming “THIS IS MY LIFE!” We're bonded and tied to comprehend this time as a passenger on the greatest of rides Woah Oh Woah Oh And I'm never getting off the plane Woah Oh Woah Oh Cause there's more and more to do these days Woah Oh Woah Oh And I'm never getting off the plane Woah Oh Woah Oh Cause there's more and more to do these days And that's when it came to me I'm a little ball of pain inside your handkerchief She asked me not to worry and I said that I would try But she knows I don't want to live without her by my side It sounds so bleak without any end But you don’t have to worry I've got love from my friends And I'm happy with that, it's all we need And I'll never forget the joy that you gave to me

It's 102 degrees in here and I just can't take the pressure This music that I write does it have the depth it should? Ahhh come man, take it easy, stay up late watching TV Show after show after show after show With Michael Scott and the Venture Bros These tranquil episodes they sooth my cramps and clear the cobwebs That hang like a necklace from around my chest What is existence? I cannot go on I cannot think about it anymore anymore anymore anymore I just wanna hit the floor go to sleep and never wake up… And everybody told us that we were gonna go the whole way Whole way Whole way And everybody told us that one day we'd have it made We’d have it made We’d have it made But what they never mentioned was that nobody knows Nobody knows Through my colour blind eyes I feel it just goes to show Goes to show We're all lost in the nothingness living out eternity It's 102 degrees in here and I just can't take the pressure Everything I do does it really take me further? Come on Paul take it easy Your brain is going zee zee Every thing you think about it it causes more uneasyness Inside your body space and time you cannot stop it We are the aliens Inside my head What is existence? I cannot go on I cannot think about it anymore anymore anymore anymore I just wanna hit the floor go to sleep and never wake up… And everybody told us that we were gonna go the whole way Whole way Whole way And everybody told us that one day we'd have it made We’d have it made We’d have it made But what they never mentioned was that nobody knows Nobody knows Through my colour blind eyes I feel it just goes to show Goes to show We're all lost in the nothingness living out eternity Through my haze eyes I can't seem to grip on this so called reality Suicide is on the up and up you know I cannot blame them We've completely lost our grip on our place on the Earth And this Universe we live in Ours egos are so big we cannot find a way around it I’m scared of the little things, this life it too real to go It’s like everything makes me sick There’s jealousy, depression and mind is thinking too much I’m wasting time I’m getting older And 30 years on I still haven’t found my place I can’t find a career so I’ll wander away And 2AM rolls around I got no thoughts of going to bed Going to bed I’m wide awake with birthday cake Writing down lyrics to share But no one heard a peep for weeks And I’m the one still counting down years Through my colour blind eyes I feel it just goes to show Goes to show We're all lost in the nothingness living out eternity…

I'm lucky to have anyone come out to my shows I'm lucky to have you around me when I’m feeling low Sinking swimming like kids before they take their first breath Underwater dreaming of a world a mind manifests Dreams they are so stagnant man I get nothing done It's much like waking life I'm always off having fun less than half of the time The rest is spent thinking why do i even try I often wonder I get to live this life embodied as a Paul on a human world I I will live on I will live on I will live on I swear to you My suffering is led on through my relative thought A disconnection from the universe it's just something taught The answers they are there and while they're not clear Why is everyone ignoring what's so glaringly real Monkeys playing music on stage before fans Monkeys painting pictures to emote a feeling And monkeys making love and creating a new window to a world Of which a child can view their own existence out in an infinite loop Because with you there wouldn't me

Swimming Through The Milky Way is a journey through my inner world. The spiritual self, the nihilistic self, the scared out of my mind but also totally in love with everything self. This is truly what goes on in my head from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. I think it might be the same for you. We are not alone in these feelings.

This is one side of myself. The other can be found on TWO TONE DEATH WAVE <3
