My Head - Cex

I got in the car

And turned the volume to ten

I tried to scream along

The words to something big

But my lungs couldn’t handle it

My chest was strained

And my face was red

But the albums make it sound so easy

Put your mouth to microphone

And the pressure gets released

But it never sounds the same

When you’re the one who’s screaming

Between the world and my brain

This voice supports everything I think on its back

And its little spine is bending

I’ve listened all my life and you haven’t told me anything

Where’s the embarrassment?

Where’s the banality?

I wanna hold the moments that you flush from your memory

One day I’ll make songs

Songs’ll make it permenant

In four-minute forms

The whole world might learn from this

And then all the hours of paralysis, imprisonment

It might be worth it, might be worth it, might be…

My head is spinning

But very, very slowly

And I hope one day my singing

Might contain or control it

There’s a temporary sanity

In this anorexic vanity business

Satisfaction can’t exist

I love work, I love success
