"I wrote this at a time when my newborn and wife were in extended hospital stays, someone I knew had just died and the pandemic didn't seem like it would end. I felt shell-shocked and thought, 'wow, life is completely random and incredibly fragile.' When several overlapping hardships happen to you at once, you try to not fall apart and roll with the punches. This is the anthem for that state of being." - Nathan Allen

It's a _ Life Lyrics

Why do you walk around the streets at night
With stinging pain behind your eyes
Fist clenched teeth grit
Why's it like this

And hold it in so none can tell
You're really not doing so well
Heart hurt brain broke
Feels like could choke

Time says that you can't control
The come and go of growing old

So you know that nothing gold can last
But didn't count on it so fast
Eye blink long gone
Feeling so wrong

And how to not get overwhelmed
When folks you know will die as well
And who can stop this steady flow
Of souls moving to and fro

Crawling Out of My Skin Lyrics

I'm crawling out of my skin
And into my bed
I hope that somebody drops
A piano on my head
I hope I can sleep this off
And call it an early night
I'll probably be counted absent
The next few days of my life

I'm skating a line between
In and out of my head
It's like I can't find the time
To be alive or a dead
Outside's a frightening world
Inside it's nothing but dreams
When will I learn to master
At least one of these things

I'm crawling out of my skin
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
I'm crawling out of my skin
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
I'm crawling out of my skin
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
I'm crawling out of my skin
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

"I wanted to write the anthem for anxiety and manic breakdowns. When you have an especially anxious day, every feeling is heightened by the fact that you feel like you've had 8 cups of coffee. The feeling of living in your own head and not externally only amplifies this and makes you tired. The only cure seems like going back to bed." - Nathan Allen

"I wrote this song to illustrate the feeling of being in debt and not making enough money to get out. It's a common occurrence where people feel overwhelmed to the point that it feels inescapable. You feel like even though your wages arent enough, you will need to bury yourself in work indefinitely in order to get out of debt. But why put a bummer subject to a sad melody? If you put it to some cheery Beach Boys harmonies it all seems better." - Nathan Allen

Crushing Debt Lyrics

Give me
Crushing debt
I don't even know how to pay for yet
I'll be working all my life to stay ahead

Kick me out
I don't even know to do without
I won't learn my lesson unless its the hardest one

To build a future you must bury it on top of you
Keep punching through your coffin corpses reach up for your shoes

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na dig
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na dig

Lungs burning
Won't slow me down or stop worrying
A 2 dollar balance does more than caffeine

To pick me up
Last night I swear that I had enough
If I can't make this last it's time for the night shift

To build a future you must bury it on top of you
Keep punching through your coffin corpses reach up for your shoes

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na dig
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na dig
