Name: This Way
Duration: P00H03M04S
Description: 'This Way' is a track all about breaking routine. Whenever I've felt low in the last 2 years, I've found it easier to numb myself than confront what's causing it (which is, ironically, often the numbness... spirals innit). Just remember kids: don't smoke, and do more yoga.

'This Way' is a track all about breaking routine. Whenever I've felt low in the last 2 years, I've found it easier to numb myself than confront what's causing it (which is, ironically, often the numbness... spirals innit). Just remember kids: don't smoke, and do more yoga.

lyrics

I hold my hand out in the sun from the shade
I fill my lungs to bring a haze to soothe me
I was making conversation
But I'm overcomplicating the fractions in my head
My actions are unbalancing -
- The answers to the sums I do to try and find
Some peace of mind
Only static's coming through
All the channels that I turn to
I'm reading in between the grey lines

I don't know
(I dunno)
I don't know what I'm s'posed to do
(no clue!)
When things don't go so good
I get blue
Like I always do
I don't know
I don't know what I'm s'posed to say
When things ain't looking great
I make mistakes
Why does it have to be this way?

You wanna wonder what I'm wondering about?
Or why I'm wandering about the city?
Just drowning out the white noise
Tryna make my choice
But the problem is the problem solving's simpler when I'm on my own
So don't talk to me
When silence speaks volumes
I'll call you
No signal on the cell
When I'm signalling myself
Needs some space from the pace of the new

I don't know
(I dunno)
I don't know what I'm s'posed to do
(no clue!)
When things don't go so good
I get blue
(so blue!)
Like I always do
I don't know
I don't know what I'm s'posed to say
When things don't go so great
I make mistakes
Why does it have to be this way?

Oh can't you see the irony in change?
Who's to say that your brains not to blame?
All the names of the games are the same

And can't you feel the apathy in shame?
You sick and tired of waking up and baking up?
[Yup!]
I shake it up I shake it off
I take it up I'll break it off

Now bring it back, get back on track today
Carpe Diem like la la la la la
Seize the day
It doesn't have to be this way!

I don't know
(I dunno)
I don't know what I'm s'posed to do
(no clue!)
When things don't go so good
I get blue
(So blue!)
Like I always do
I don't know
I don't know what I'm s'posed to say
When things ain't looking great
I make mistakes
Why does it have to be this way?
