back then - Mt. Fujitive

I’m getting sick of constant negativity, searching for some clarity

Try to switch my mind around, reversing the polarity

And scuttle through the undertow, an urgent need for therapy

Coercing me to stray from my roots

I’ve even practiced sacrificing bad news to Aphrodite statues

Antagonised by past dues, I’m camera shy and fat too

Diet plan is snack food, banana pies and cashews

The person that i dream to be, I pantomime with tattoos

But even still, I sense the glimmer of my confidence

Hiding under ink I got to mimic my accomplishments

They’re few and far between, sort of timid in their promises

Downing subtle whispers with the engine of a rocketship

I can’t linger any longer in the past

I’m not the person that I was back then

Romanticizing everything, the flowers in the grass

Were a stepping stone for expressing my love back then

But now I’m jaded as I cautiously detach

From all the people that I loved back then

Drowning every issue via vodka from a flask

To think, the only thing I wanted was a hug back then

Sick of constant negativity, searching for some clarity

Try to switch my mind around, reversing the polarity

And scuttle through the undertow, an urgent need for therapy

Coercing me to stray from my roots
