Migraine - Live from SXSW

Song goes out to the birds above me
Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
Spotify house, how you doin' so far, good?
Okay, I got somethin' to say

I-I-I-I've got a migraine
And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways
Thank God it's Friday, 'cause Fridays will always be better than Sundays
'Cause Sunday's are my suicide days
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
Thunderstorms, cloud, snow, and a slight drizzle
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Let it be said, what your headache represents
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
Bein' tested by a ruthless examinant, that's represented best
By my depr- (one, two, three) 'ing thoughts
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Am I the only one I know?
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid

Yeah, yeah, yeah (uh-oh)

I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Me for yellin', I'm tellin' you, green gardens
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
A difficult to be, stop feastin' lumber down trees, freeze frame
Please let me paint a mental picture portrait
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
And now it is a door that holds back contents
That make Pandora's box contents look non-violent

Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
My mind, shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could find
I did not know it was such a violent island
Full of tidal waves, suicidal-crazed lions
They're tryin' to eat me, blood runnin' down their chin
And I know that I can fight, or I can let the lion win
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind

Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid

Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-uh-oh-oh

And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
And I will say that we should take a moment, hold it
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone

Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid

We've made it this far
We've made it this
