Dismal Lyrics by Dylan Espeseth

2022

[Verse 1]
My friends are all out moving on and getting jobs
And I'm just stuck here writing songs
And wishing I could be enough for once
It's getting dark, it's getting hard
There's children starving and somehow
I've got the nerve to complain about myself
I'll stay alive and that's enough at least for today
I'll make it up tomorrow
Or at least I'm gonna try
I guess I'll give it six more months
If I'm too depressed to get up
Then I guess I'll quit writing songs

[Chorus]
I can't keep holding on to the things that bring nightmares
I'm losing touch with my head
I can't keep running back to the things that are haunting
My mind is turning dismal

[Verse 2]
Feel like the world is up in flames
And we're all counting down the days
I think that I'm going insane
And falling out of touch
I'm getting tired and I'm lost inside my head inside thoughts
Don't even know what I've been thinking lately

[Chorus]
I can't keep holding on to the things that bring nightmares
I'm losing touch with my head
I can't keep running back to the things that are haunting
My mind is turning dismal
