Roach-like Resilience Lyrics

Feel like a wilted plant, wanna chill but can't

Can I kick it? Alright cool, because I will just rant

Layer one's the matriarch, a major part

of my behavior starts with no foundation like a trailer park

Consequently since seventh grade I've been making art

As just a way to keep the pain at bay when shit was crazy dark

I guess to try to keep sane I jot my thoughts down

And journal on the daily cuz mane, I'd rather not drown

I've often found solace in philosophical musing

Finding meaning where there's none because life is awful confusing

My family is a super cell that frequently produces wind

That's at least 210 MPH but musics been

Like an underground shelter some energetic shield

Deflecting radiated rays like the magnetic field

I stay surviving with my roach-like resilience

That's why you'll never see the day society erodes my brilliance

"It's said that cockroaches would be the only creatures to survive a nuclear war. They're not indestructible but they are amazingly resilient"

If the past is traumatic and the path you travel is tragic

You may naturally and passively unravel as an addict

But your sadness is valid and symptomatic

Of the savagery you actually battled if that's dramatic

Well, you probably had it half as bad and shouldn't speak on this

Me and my people are from Hades, fuck your mountain peaks of bliss

I keep just trying to be tough but it's a hassle bro

Tired from these every day struggles, these demons have to go

I'd rather grow a pasture full of apple trees and apricots

Instead I wrastle with madness, in fact I think creative blocks

Form in the painful knots my stomach's always twisted in

Which is why I find no fault in folks that end up giving in

But listen friend, try to hold on if you can

I don't know why this happened to you, I don't understand

Why life's so fucked up but I see and hear you

Might not have been as tough but my existence has been weird too
