Fall asleep, fall asleep for the love of god I'm begging you
For eight hours... or maybe five or four or two
In my head, an orchestra plays its seventh symphony
Am I dead, or is hell too good for me?
Day by day, getting swept away,
It's a downward spiral into sorrow
So if it's quite alright, think I'll skip tonight
We can take this up tomorrow
Everything is terrible!
And everything's in vain.
Empires rise, ineffable
Now they’re history all the same
Well, I never saw them crumble
And I never saw them reign
But everything is terrible!
It's always been that way.
I bought a sphere and inside of the shell lives a tiny pyramid.
It's so wise, and it shared with me a gift:
“Ask away, ask away and I'll tell you everything I can.
If I don't, you just couldn't understand.”
“Will I be stuck here?” “Outlook is unclear.
I don't know- maybe so? Ask me later.”
It's a breach of trust that will leave me crushed,
So I hope this way I'm safer...
Everything is terrible!
And everything's in vain.
Kingdoms rise, ineffable
Now they’re history all the same
Well, I never saw them crumble
And I never saw them reign
But everything is terrible!
And it's always been that way.
It's always been that way, been that way.
If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play.
If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play.
If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play.
If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play.
Everything is terrible!
Everything's in vain.
Kingdoms rise, ineffable
Now they’re history all the same
Well, I never saw them crumble
And I never saw them reign
But everything is terrible!
And it'll always be that way!
Everything is terrible!
Everything's in vain.
Kingdoms rise, ineffable
Now they’re history all the same
Well, I never saw them crumble
And I never saw them reign
But everything is terrible!
And it'll always be that way!
It'll always be, it'll always be,
It'll always, will always, will always be that way.
Everything no, everything no,
Everything now, every every
Everything now. Now.
Cicierega has always had particularly great arrangement and lyrical ability, but his latest album is on a new level. It's chock full of fantastic synth work and infectious melodies. Steven, A.D.
Shael Riley is one of the musicians who influenced me most, and inspired me to start writing music in the first place. This is a great album full of introspective lyrics and amazing song writing. Steven, A.D.
