Yikes! Songtext
von Dance Gavin Dance

There′s something in the body buried
Prying thoughts are much too scary
Deep inside the bones
Often left alone

There's something I′ve been keeping in
It's overblown and deafening
There's something I′ve been keeping in
I feel like i am losing me
There′s nothing left for me to see
I should just fade into nothing

Well I guess life has never been better


Sure I suck
I laid it up
I made a crutch
I wasted love
I waited up
My painless numb
Afraid of love
And scared of us
Everything I did I made it up
They ate It up
I'm not enough
I made it cut
Were not enough
I wasted us
Ashamed of us
Everything I touch it turns to dust
I played it dumb
Then played it up
I′m not enough
I made it up
I ain't enough
I made it up

And then I go pack that bowl
And then I go back
Had a little time wandering in it
I think I was blind I needed a minute

Im old
Old
Those were the days
No one was us

Clothes are dry
I don′t need to be liked
I don't need to join the fight
It′s a waste of my time

Have you tried empathy?
Are problems only yours?
You create a different memory
Instead of grieve
potion in the purse
The birth is in the dirt
The worst is yet to lurch into your brain


Portrait left in ashes
Old begets the new
I'm so tired of being afraid
No choice left to be made now
Suicidal objects
Inanimate, obtuse
Stomp with ceaseless brigades
There's no one you can save

Oof
Yikes

Sure I suck
I laid it up
I made a crutch
I wasted love
I waited up
My painless numb
Afraid of love
And scared of us
Everything I did I made it up
They ate it up
I′m not enough
I made it cut
We′re not enough
I wasted us
Ashamed of us
Everything I touch it turns to dust
I played it dumb
Then played it up
I'm not enough
I made it up
I ain′t enough
I made it up

Birds Bees

And then I go pack that bowl
And then I go back
Had a little time wandering in it
I think I was blind I needed a minute
Im old
Old
Those were the days
No one was us
