Anything At All by Everything Persists Lyrics
(spoken word from Brendan Murphy of Counterparts)
I wish I had something to blame this on
To blame these feelings on
Thinking about my life too
I've had a good life, not a lot of things have gone horribly wrong
Like, why I am still feeling this
That's sort of what I've been trying to combat with
Is that I want to find a way to get better
I wish I could pinpoint the day
Or I wish I had something blame this on
But I don't really
It just like one day it starting coming in waves
And it was just feeling like shit essentially
And it was so confusing to me
What I truly think is that, is that it was just growing up
And dealing with adult things
And there was no wonder I was happy
Because my life was normal and I went to school
And was skateboarding and stuff like that
And then when you get to your late teens and early twenties
And you start having real stresses
And elementary school, whatever now, it's like
Holy shit I got to get good grades in high school
I got to go to college, I need a job
I need to find a place
And then you fall in love with people
And then you start having these relationships
And sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't
And I think that's sort of when everything comes to a head
Around that age and that's just what it was for me
(vocals and guitar by Everything Persists)
I barely said a word at all, scared to tell you how I felt
Has my memory decayed?
I don't remember falling into love and it kills me everyday
I hope I never fucking hear your name again
Carry me, lifeless and afraid, back to our bed
But truth be told, it never felt like we were laid together sleeping
Only that my broken body had been crushed between your sheets
Like dead flowers between the pages of a journal you never read anymore
You just flip through when you're bored
Were we anything at all?
I never thought I'd be so weak
I wish I had something to blame this on
To blame these feelings on
Thinking about my life too
I've had a good life, not a lot of things have gone horribly wrong
Like, why I am still feeling this
That's sort of what I've been trying to combat with
Is that I want to find a way to get better
I wish I could pinpoint the day
Or I wish I had something blame this on
But I don't really
It just like one day it starting coming in waves
And it was just feeling like shit essentially
And it was so confusing to me
What I truly think is that, is that it was just growing up
And dealing with adult things
