about

'Strain' by Weeper. Previously space safari.
Recorded by John Arnold

lyrics

I try to seep into stone
to etch my strain
to feel at home
but still air dampens me
my lungs it's cave
my lungs it's throne

Feed me my patterned thoughts
learn from the silence which I was once taught
never believe in the god that preach to
never trust the light that guides or creates you
praise to the minds that dictate and erase you
comfort the gun that your head once belonged to

I'm waiting here for my sunrise
I'm waiting here with hundreds of hopes

I am being for others
I am being for me
I'm rusting the cage that my mind has trapped in me
What god will save me now
I am a man with no mirror
How do I see myself fall

There's nothing I ever wanted more
Than to breathe on my own
To stand on my feet no ache in my fucking bones

I'm trying my best to sleep in my skin
Knowing where I've been
Endless sin
I tear and I tear and I tear at my mind

There's nothing I ever wanted more
Than to breathe on my own
To stand on my feet no ache in my fucking bones
