lyrics

Poor judgment on my part
Intrigued by stimuli
Dismayed by consequence
Staring eyes with no relent

Are my detriments all you can sense?
Justify fear year after year
There are times to believe when it's wrong to conceive

Take it for what it's worth
Approaching death on Earth
Abundant goodness long forgotten
Disguised by everything so rotten

To those in pain, you know the drill
Administer morphine at will

All the lights but one go out at once
That one light stays on me for months
Facade upon facade, my dear
You won't know me until our time is near

You go by what you see
Eyes on the back of my head
In everybody's way, they're all in mine too
Anxiety pandemic, xenophobic tendencies
We'll never know what is and was ever truly meant to be

I can't believe we've made it so far
You're wrong, I'm right, don't question calculation
Observation over experience

I've seen so much, humbled by shortcomings
Redeem ourselves, place your egos on the back shelf

(I can't see over his head, he's talking to himself, he's so afraid of everything, why does he even try at all? He's a failure at best, he's never going to succeed. He's sweating bullets. Why does he even try at all? He's talking to himself, I can't see anything.)

Kill Yourself

These years of failures add up
My life's a mockery of life itself
Reassured from every angle that I'll never be what I wanted to be
Useless knowledge, useless skills
Nothing I can provide for you
And when Satan brings his maker, pump the morphine 'til I can't remember

Mike DeCosta is Rhode Island's greatest songwriter, in my opinion. Although you could say I'm biased since he's a good friend of mine, I loved his stuff before meeting him. This music IS Providence. Tyler North

My brother, Ricky has been writing music longer than anyone I know in our local scene. His library of music is vast and diverse. I play drums and produce the albums, while he does everything else. Tyler North

I play bass guitar and analog bass pedals for Matt in this band, and this recorded material is all his (and entirely performed and recorded by him). Tyler North
