I need a helping hand, but you know, there is no easy way out. My Daddy’s hustlin’, oh my friends are making that sweet, sweet dollar on the hour, working harder, make it yearly. How can such a man ever be unhappy?
He came to visit to talk about his life he said, that he’s already dead. Oh yeah, he’s going insane! Can’t help but thinking how soon I won’t have a single dime to my name. Won’t have a single dime to my name. Talk about going insane, talk about going insane.
Are we just trading miseries round’? Pick your poison, choose your path: Would you rather die in shame or drown in the tears you cry from the dreams that are broken? I see your face in men over 50 who aim their bitterness like spit into starry eyes.
I am so full of shame. My mama says that I’m blessed, I guess I cannot contest I’m not living on the street. Jealous of capitalist queens who make a killing off their making. Should I go back to school for banking? Go on to make that sweet, sweet dollar. Working harder, make it yearly. It’s that sacred American promise, but you don’t want my brains on the walls of your office.
Should I trade in my miseries, for different ones? I’m just tryna, I just…I…
…I don’t wanna die. I don’t wanna die. I made myself a promise. I made myself a promise.
And you don’t want my brains on the walls of your office. You don’t want my brains on the walls of your office. I don’t want my brains on the walls of my office. I don’t want my brains on the walls of my office. I don’t. I don’t.
One of the most talented songwriters I know, period. Especially rec "Fluid", which addresses being non-binary. Do yourself a favor and take a listen to these fantastic songs. Mars Ray

The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
