Annoying Dance of Nothing

lyrics

Holding onto body set and mind
You’ve gotta love things
You’re bone dry

Molten sense, American eye

You’ve gone and faltered
You’ve got a lot of them
It’s not a thing, it sounds
it goes away, you know

That we don’t belong to
Not anything
We can’t hold onto your notes on...

We have no time to get a lot done
’til the fire begins to consume them

We are the only ones
who find love to kill
Instead of finding humans
We leave a lot of life to chance
Yet we are the only ones
who only know what high is when the low tide begins


We all go blind
We lose our mind

Body, set, and mind
Receding tide

Inside we draw a line
We build it up too
A coat of paint will follow
Yeah we wait a long time to live


You’ve gotta lie

To get ahead in life tonight

You’re going to fall down to raiders

You’re going to fall down
then tell yourself you don’t mind

You poured the wrong tea now
That’s what I’m trying to say
You’ve got the wrong tea
in your cup of reality
Simmering it reflects your soul

Feel like you’re the only one
By your own reasons
Buy your body and sew the other timelines in
Now you’re not the only one


By the eyes awake
By the haves undone

And why don’t you do what you do
You are the only one who can learn from your mistakes
You’re not much fun when you’re on your cyanide

I won’t be here for everyone
I cannot guide you in everything
You’ve gotta live inside the oven
Your body and your mind
Body, set, and mind

Know what I’m saying?
Everyday
Nine to five

Head in a Box image

Head in a Box Kitchener, Ontario

Based in Ontario, Canada, "Head in a Box" was created in the early moments of the 2020 pandemic, locked down and in isolation with a Baritone-8 acoustic guitar. The goal: to create songs as individual, fictional stories inspired by real people and events in an attempt to make the empty space, which enveloped the songwriter, feel a little bit less empty over the many, many months we were to endure. ... more
