Liar 03:57
lyrics

You should learn but all you do is scheme Running your latest little plan by me I would really say that I'm surprised If I hadn’t known you for a long, long time You can’t surprise me any more What kind of fool do you take me for? You seem confident in your lies But I see right through you when i look into your eyes When you ask questions and try to get through me Then disappear, act like you never knew me You act like you’re my friend But to you I’m Just a means to an end You’re a Liar, and it’s coming to an end You say I should live a little every time When you come back around, from the last thing that you tried I don’t think you’ll ever learn that I don’t trust you But you say you have love in your heart, so no one is above you You don’t even look like you’re trying You say I gave up but you keep on lying You say that life’s a fever dream But you are the the one that makes it seem Like I’ll never understand you And that it’s fucking through Well that sounds good to me cause I ain't here for you You’re a Liar, your fantasies are crude You drive me up a wall With the absurdity of it all It’s like you don't have a brain Make me feel like I'm going insane You’ve lost yourself in your own lies Forgot everything that once was right Now you like to whine and you like to fight You like to hit me up at midnight Everything you do is to help yourself People to you are just paid help You put yourself in a corner And you act like I need to be your fixer You make yourself my problem And then act real shocked when I go and solve 'em You’ll just keep coming back playing your little desperate act You’re a liar, you’re standing on my neck-

One Night 02:52

I wanna be like Humphrey Bogart But I don't know just where to start This world keeps picking at my brain And ripping at my heart I’m a loveable buffoon who would never understand The world passes me underhand I have no dream I have no plan Feels like, one night At the end of the world Feels like I’m right The world fucked me over Feels like one night At the end of the world Feels like I’m right And I’ll never learn I let myself feel the scorn Tapes are beaten and torn Nightmares fill my head at night, Wanna sleep, don't have the right I make it work as best I can Make it all hang by a thread Feels like, one night At the end of the world Feels like I’m right But at least I’m sober Feels like one night At the end of the world Watch friends and family Crash and burn Fuck work, Fuck work Cuz I never learn Fuck you, Fuck it It’s not getting better Fuck work, fuck work Fuck my dead end life Cuz it’s my job and I’m going on strike

Reducing Opacity 03:51

I’ve been thinking about myself About all the times I needed help About all the times I lied To me myself and I Cause I’m just a whiny bitch Who would want to hear this shit No one cares, they just lie Most can’t look me in the eye I’m reducing my opacity Cause I'm not who I'm s’posed to be I fucked up my own life I can’t fucking sleep at night Choking on my own thoughts Shit looks hopeful when its not I’ll fade into the background Serves me right cause I'm a clown I hope you never think of me I hope my memories die with me I really just try too hard too little brains and too much heart This world isn’t built for me Or built for my stupid dreams All I feel is envy For people that don’t like me I’m reducing my opacity Cause I'm not who I'm s’posed to be I’m afraid of myself I will never get help I can’t be trusting anyone Cause i fuck up and spill my guts I’m the one left out to dry Shits over, at least I tried Reducing my opacity Cause I'm not who im s’posed to be People are afraid of me And I just wanna be happy Now my life is all fucked If you really care then listen up Please don’t try to save me Please just keep my grave clean

Perpetually Online 03:31
lyrics

You’re a greasy fingered charlatan Who will not get a job and Yet you wonder why You can’t break through the fog You’re a grifter and a ruffian Who likes to pretend you’re smart and Yet you act surprised When they tear your act apart You’re an actor that pretends to be The man with the plan But you spend your days complaining About how you want a girlfriend You complain instead of trying You keep on fuckin whining You’re Perpetually online You’re wasting all of your time Your only sense of of humor Is ripping on some zoomers You’ll seethe all day on twitter Until you lose your mind They don’t know any better yet The sun for them is far from set But you are pushing 30 Wasting away your life You complain about other people That they aren’t doing it right But you should look inside yourself And try to fix your own plight You act like a little sycophant Then blame others for the consequence I would never wanna be like you but I hope you see the light You’re an old school keyboard warrior Spend all your time online Yelling at other people To live your way or pay the price You clamor at the thought of having Some reliable friends And you could still have some If you thought before hitting send You don’t have to be lonely, You’re Perpetually Online

She Doesn't See Me 04:01
lyrics

When will I ever learn There’s nothing in life I want to earn I just wanna live and I wanna breathe And my own brain chases after me In bed at night my soul will yearn In my heart a fire burns But this is where I give up Life should’ve meant more than love She don’t see me Like I see her Changing up The perspective She’s living in Her own world And I'm not a part of it What's the point in trying? Darling ain't my love I’ll just sit and stare at the stars above What do I know, Living my life for show I’ll never be happy with myself Always needing someone else She’s a beauty queen maybe the one for me But I’m a vote of sympathy I'm locked in my mind, And she’s out there roaming free We look past each other I Hide my love, we can’t see eye to eye I think I love her She just wants A shoulder to cry There’s no denying, No need for justifying She’ll never see me that way To me, love’s a losing game Try to focus on my breathing No one cares unless you’re screaming Write a stupid song, sing these worthless words The ones I’ll never say to her Don't have the guts, don't wanna lie Wouldn’t do nothin’ I don't wanna try One more reason to laugh at me I’m a worthless man with stupid dreams She’s living Her own life now She’s living in my head Problems Don’t fix themselves No prospects I’m leaning into dread There’s no point in giving up But I never feel like I’m enough Love is all I want anymore Is this all that life has in store?

about

Tbh it felt like this thing took forever to make. production is still same as it has been, maybe a little better, but I think what shines here more is my songwriting. Some of the best, and worst, songs I've ever written are on this album. Some songs were written from a genuine place of hopelessness and heartache, others were a rant on whoever or whatever I was thinking about that day. It's suicidal thoughts meets shitty love response meets some random tirade about crystal women meets hating other people and yourself meets discount Jeff Rosenstock meets shitty Soundcloud rock production. If you like any of that, this album will work for you. Hell, if you just like alternative rock you'll probably like at least some of what I have to say :)

Point being, everyone's been to the low points this album reflects.

I feel like the biggest lesson I've learned from this project is the songs that I really put my heart and emotions into, were better by far, They, on average, took longer to really get right, but when I finally finished them, they became by far some of my best songs to date. I plan to take that approach into the next project, so it may be a while before my next album.

Thanks for listening and for your continued support

- Maniac


(PS. Production quality on the next album is likely to be a massive step forward)
