Shark Dad Lyrics

[Intro: Tilian]
It's like it never even happened
I never got to know this side of you
Frozen all connections
Now I can't find the person that was you
Oh no, I can't remember
The leaves were bound to change
I loved you in the summer
The leaves were bound to change

[Chorus: Jon Mess]
Why can't I seem to find my mind? The time is almost up
It's wide, I'm fried and died inside, it's deep and broken up
Host of the feelings left, isn't there
Ran outside to waste his cares
If had done faster, then I'm spared to sleep instead of suck
Maybe it's time to quit the game, it wasn't me, the world is drunk
I'm a piston on a mission, pumping out my guts

[Verse 1: Jon Mess]
She said I was just something, like a filler in her molar
A hibernating Siamese twin on her shoulder
I lose my shit enough, I bite a bit off, more than I can chew
You collected fashion tips and now I wear a cage
Stuck in a batters grip, faking a limp
Happy to cry, waiting for gifts, biding my time
I injected apathy, attempt to disengage
Avoiding those parroting, they won't decide a-
They won't decide a-, they won't decide a-
They won't decide a thing

[Refrain: Tilian]
When I saw you there, looking like a shadow
Of what you were, I could see my sorrow

[Verse 2: Tilian]
Shine in the moment when you turn around
Turn around, turn around, turn around my world
Shine in the moment, hit me with the cold
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm without you, girl
(Snow falling, downpour, falling, downpour)
(Snow falling, downpour, downpour)

[Bridge: Jon Mess, Tilian]
I'm so sick in the brain (Oh-oh)
I don't even practice keeping in touch
Throw my thoughts in the drain (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The clutch of Abraxas stone
Torn deep through the rug
Watch my dripping bone erupt (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
As I bellow the message, complete with the flood
When the hot fog rolls on a match and sparks it up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ribbon lip quiver, god calling when I've had enough
I'm lost

[Outro: Jon Mess]
Why can't I seem to find my mind? The time is almost up
It's wide, I'm fried and died inside, it's deep and broken up
If had done faster, then I'm spared to sleep instead of suck
Maybe it's time to quit the game, it wasn't me, the world is drunk
