It’s so hard to know what I should do Because I know that it affects you Every day, no, every waking moment, I fear you are dismayed Now tell me, is that true? I know you don’t have a bad bone in your body Especially not for me It’s so hard to know what I should say Because I know my silence hurts you If only I could rip the filters from your eyes And take back what it stole from you Would you see like I do? I know you don’t have a bad bone in your body Especially not for me I know that we’re all just living to get by here I don’t need and apology

I’m thinking lately I’m in a place I’ve never been before This feeling, the leviathan I’ve been searching for I’m thinking maybe this white whale’s been eluding me Call me crazy but I don’t think that I can let this go Maybe something’s wrong with me All I know is I don’t wanna leave Just let go and show there’s something wrong with me Truth be told, it’s all too much I think I’m changing I think the search is finally winding down I think I’m changing

Overwhelmed 02:25
I give up, It’s all too much Hi, how are you? I’m overwhelmed Wanna help but can’t keep focus Who fucking cares if I give up? I don’t want to feel like everything I do is for nothing Hi, how are you? I’m overwhelmed Wanna feel like I have purpose Who fucking cares if I give up? What sort of difference does it make when I’m alone? I try not to ask myself because I’m scared of letting go In the given situation do I even have a choice? This pseudo-right to choose in all of this fucking noise What sort of difference does it make when I’m alone? If I stay by myself that’s all I’ll never know I won’t let you down

$1200 02:56
You know I’ve got some friends Some got sick, and some even died It doesn’t make much sense, most will get fired if they unionize They hardly have any money, they barely pay the rent But fifteen dollars an hour will make Walmart go out of business But fifteen dollars an hour will make McDonald’s go out of business But fifteen dollars and hour will make Amazon go out of business One-thousand two-hundred dollars, It’s not enough But my taxes pay for your healthcare so you don’t give a fuck Buy my taxes pay for your salary so you don’t give a fuck

Melrose 03:27
Peeling back my skin again, hoping it doesn’t come off This happens to me every time you know, maybe it’s really my fault Trying super hard, to not lean on you too much I just don’t want you to ever think that I’m just using as a crutch And I’m so scared of everything and everyone I know I’m unprepared to do anything else on my own No matter what comes, I promise I’ll survive But I don’t think I’ll really be living if I’m not by your side I’ve seen one million orchids and I’ve scoured my mind You’re the reason I see cherry blossoms on a cold winter’s night And I’m so scared of everything and everyone I know
6.
I need something to justify the monotony of living I need help I feel like I am nothing, have no purpose, not a person I have no sense of self, I’ve tried everything If I survive, just leave me be I’f I can’t go on you don’t have to carry me If I can’t go on, keep my grave clean If I can’t go on Every single day I struggle just to get out of bed and try to see That every single thing is right where it’s supposed to be But I don’t think I believe it
7.
Kamp Krusty 04:34
It’s getting easier to live a life Where I can truly say I’m glad to live Where a routine isn’t killing me The days go by and it’s not disheartening But still a shadow envelops me Just biding time and waiting patiently
8.
Malarkey 05:38
Everyday I get closer but I never do it Everyday I get closer but I never find my way Can I find enough time, I’ll never decide The day that fixes everything never seems to arrive Become a child and you’ll be free I’m losing control of what I thought I had down I don’t know where I am, I can’t see the ground Is it my fate to always be afraid? Trapped inside these walls with no way out Trapped inside open space with no way out A natural place, a natural phase, is it safe? The lights go out and it takes me in Who am I? Does it even matter? Vision blurs, thoughts stop, no one’s there Do you feel the stabs and the echoes? I was so afraid that this would get under your skin But I sit and watch as I feel my heart break I feel it at the bottom, at the base I thought that this was what you wanted when you asked for help Really there are three things that scare me and shake me to my core The overwhelm, the no escape, and no one’s near me anymore Either I can’t escape or if I can it’s never quick enough The question’s still on my mind, what am I running from? I thought that this was what you wanted when you asked for help I’ve come so far but the road is long and dark, pull me through

St. Francis 04:29
Trying to rationalize everything I do but If I’m being honest everything makes no sense It makes no sense and I really think I’m breaking down It makes no sense and I really need to figure out I’m dying to figure out where to draw the line at Because I really don’t think I know yet And I think I never will Maybe I should just embrace that Maybe I should try to change that Maybe I should just embrace that Maybe I’m better off that way, I think it keeps me sane If I tear myself apart I can put it in a better way Tear me all apart and scatter all the pieces Rip me limb from limb because I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need anymore of these feelings Trying to hold me down, don’t hold me down Denying all rational thought that creeps into my mind But if I’m being honest it all just wears me out I need a break I can’t keep going on the way I am That’s my mistake, I equate my work to who I am I’m dying to figure out how to break this cycle You know I ‘m starting to think that it’s my fault And I think I never will Maybe I should just embrace that Maybe I should try to change that Maybe I should just embrace that Take a look back just remember where you were this past December, one more fucking year gone by and I’m tearing myself apart And I wonder why I gave it all away I gave it to you I gave it away

Nostalgia 03:05
Who am I? Who are you? I used to know so well but now I’m so confused (I can’t go on) It hurts me, it hurts so much The lights go dark and everything goes numb (Living like this) I feel so lost, I feel so overwhelmed I’m so scared of everything and I’ve lost myself (Take me back) But something is changed, something I can’t describe A weight is off my chest and I can finally breathe For once in my life I can do anything

Brandywine 07:09
Would it kill me just to make up my mind? Another cycle ends and I’m still falling for the same tricks - What if I could just be sure, at least this time? Another year goes by and I start running Who am I? I’m nothing, just some molecules combined to form some kind of being who can never make his mind up What if I could just be certain, tell me why you could ever love someone that’s like me So unworthy You’re so amazing And I’m so pathetic and it’s only getting worse But I’m trying to break this habit of running when I’m feeling anchored I’m so undeserving of anything at all but I’ll take everything you give me and try to give it back two-fold And I’m so pathetic and it’s only getting worse But I’m trying to break this habit I start running If you can read this I hope that you know that I made a mistake and I won’t let you go If you can read this I hope that you know that I’m so scared of everything, especially myself If you can read this I hope that you know that you make me so happy and I won’t let you go If you can read this I hope that you know that I’m so scared of everything

about

The new album from Think Machine, Waiting For The End Of The World is the blistering second album from a band that's been promising its arrival for several years, as anyone who's been to a show in the last 3 years can attest. The band has gone through multiple demos, line-up additions and departures, and plenty of tinkering with song structures in their efforts to make this album.

With twelve tracks over 44 minutes, the band spins out ferocious tracks that weren't seen on other releases from the band before. While songs like "Invasion of Astro Monster" and "Nostalgia" have some elements from the band's first album "This Machine Makes Noise," they contain a volume and fervor not present before.

The band also shows its polished skill in arrangements on tracks like "Malarkey," and on the closer "Brandywine."
