lyrics

I hit the snooze button too often
I'm just too stuck in a loop to do something
Got a few options, I choose nothing
Birds flying high, sun in the sky, my mood's rotten
A new dawn, a new day brings a new problem
So I'll hide under my pillow till the moon's up above the rooftops
And then I do nothing
I saw your post, it said "who's coming?"
And I knew one thing
I'm glued to this futon with my blue boots on
Feeling kind of shaky like a neutron removed from its proton
Total loss of motion
It's like my body doesn't charge
I think my battery is broken
Minutes turn to hours and hours turn to days
Days turn to weeks, I'm lost in the haze of a dream
In a state in between of awake and asleep
The opposite of taking a leap
I'm decaying in a heap like on a hot summer's night
Went astray in the deep of the subconscious mind
I forgot to bring a map, I thought I'd just thumb a ride
And here I am all come untied

So can anybody throw me a rope
The tide is closing in on me
And I feel to comatose to fight this growing misery
So can anybody throw me a rope
The water is up to my neck
And I can't operate on overload
I'm lost in this dead end in need of direction

Can anybody throw me a rope
The tide is closing in on me
Can anybody throw me a rope
The tide is closing in on me

Life is just a brief visit, you should be in it each minute
Living to the fullest like a free spirit
That's the preconceived image
But I just can't make it happen
Cause I feel rigid in between steep ridges
Lost in a surreal dimness
I'm tired mate and I've made my peace with it
This iron gate didn't have a key with it
So I'm gonna hide away right till the week's finished

about

The Pinch Berlin, Germany

The Pinch messes with hiphop by means of a mic and a trumpet, serving keen obversations on the gloomy condition this dog-eat- dog reality has left us in. The humorous narration is embellished by a jazzy soundscape, reminiscent of the golden boom-bap era. ... more
