So much heart, time, and work went into making this my best recording so far. I could not have done it without the brilliant drumming from Joe Tounge, and the multifaceted instrumental, engineering, and production work from Joe Casey. It's great to get to work on music with my friends, and it's even better when those friends are so talented and willing to put in the time and energy to make that music all the better. This song is one that comes from a place of real honesty, and I hope you can connect to it and enjoy it.

Lyrics:

Cast away your weary woes behind from yesterday
It's okay, tomorrow's on its way or so they say
Mask the pain
A sleeve-worn heart for a start, but scars remain
Take the blame
You're handed as your loved ones walk away

I need a painkiller to take my pain away
I need a time filler to make my mind okay
I need a strong will, or a new pill, or a great escape
I need a painkiller

Faster now, we're screaming at the speed of social sound
Dangling doubts like chains around our necks, we all look down
Gather 'round, head toward the sea to see the pleading crowds
Heavy-browed, we shake in silence as the sun slips out

I need a painkiller to take my pain away
I need a time filler to make my mind okay
I need a strong will, or a new pill, or a great escape
I need a painkiller

Let my shoulders roll like waves
Let my eyes look out the cave
Let me go, let me go
No one talks, there's nothing to say
And yet we talk the world away
So let me go, let me go

I need a painkiller to take my pain away
I need a time filler to make my mind okay
I need a strong will, or a new pill, or a great escape
I need a painkiller

Thanks for reading and for listening,
Odist
