Chinese Handcuffs Lyrics by War Party (Rock)

To Love and Fear It

2016

I'm feeling manic
Feeling panic
Almost every day
I'm feeling static
It's traumatic
I don't know what to say

It's like I'm busting at the seams right now
For you to come on, come on
I've got everything I need right now
But I could still want some more

I guess it happens every day
You know the state
The stale taste of routine in disarray

I've got small problems
I can't solve them
And it's hurting my brain
I'm losing vision
Losing witnesses
Dismantling my case
Got my own judge and jury right now
But I can't come on, come on
I got the motives and the means right
Now but I can't come on, come on

I guess it happens every day
You know the state
The stale taste of routine in disarray

You've gotta let it go
As you grow old
You gotta let it go
Or it takes hold

That parrot talking on your shoulder
Keeps repeating that "you're getting older"
But I can't let go of my youth just yet
I've got the axe if you've got the neck
I've got the tax if you've got the check
I've got the dis if you've got respect
The adult world is so inside out
I just wanna twist and shout
Faux nostalgia likes to pout
The past is in and the present is out

You've got to get me through this maze
You know, I'm drunk, I'm timid, I'm mad
I think I'm going through a phase

I know I'm getting old
The jokes been told
I'm scared of getting old
Wait, shit I'm on a roll

I gotta let it go
