S. Reidy - Sicko Mode Lyrics

I think that I could write a master class on how to never be successful
I vent what I regret but I detest being a handful
It's a crowded sea of fish and I get caught inside the weeds
Protesting my existence while I gather all its needs
And how offensive
To all contingent cells up in the sky, to often act on solipsistic thoughts when surely hope suffices
With your vices and your patterns one would think you'd be content
But human nature bears a massive weight and so I get it
How beknowst, of self you are to cancel out the noise
You should be proud of what you are, and how you come across as poised
And gone from crashing on the couch, to writing poems to heal your wounds
And over stepping boundaries as a tool is nothing new, just hold your head up
A younger you would give you more perspective
They would bask inside the glow of who you are, it's not pretend
And how dependent
We've all become for closure just to visit
But growing old should never be a chore because it's a privilege I know

Slowly but surely I'm fine
Slowly but surely I'm fine
Slowly but surely I'm fine
I know, I'm home

When I was ten I shot a bird with a beebee gun for reasons that I can't explain
I watched it fall down to the ground and then it flew away
I just laughed it off, and went about my merry way
But I can't help but think about the seeds it planted in my brain
Like my impulses can't be trusted for a minute
And cruelty can dig into beyond the scientific
And life is nothing else if not a series of near misses
And roots can only grow as much as soil is forgiving
So know to soften up won't break apart the niche that you inhabit
The fossils buried in the ground would love to have your habbits
I spent so long believing passion was imagined
And love was quantified in subtle ways for me to ration
I've never been so proud to say you changed my mind and I was wrong
I'm scared to death, but taught myself to just embrace the fall
So know to hold on to yourself is just to let it go
Been toe to toe with any feeling I could feel so I know

Slowly but surely I'm fine
Slowly but surely I'm fine
Slowly but surely I'm fine
I know, I'm home
