about

I used to go out to the bars most nights of the week for about a year and a half.. It started as a way to hang out with some of my close friends from work.. (We never really got the chance to see each other outside of second shift.) Over about six months, it metastasized. I went there looking for an answer to my problems and to numb the pain I was living with at the time. And for an obvious reason, it became my greatest adversary instead.

Small town life is beautiful if you take in every day like it's brand new and treat it like there is always something else to do.. I obviously didn't do that until it was almost to late. Since then, for the most part, I've been able to control myself and drink "responsibly." With that being said, this song was written after one of my hardest nights. I hope you all can take a little something from this regardless of how personal it is to me. Don't let yourselves fall into the trap I did regardless of how much you'd like to fit in.

With love from Neosho, MO,

Stephen / CONTEИT

lyrics

About two years back, my heart went black and blue
Now I'm living in the aftermath after cupid.
I'm only lightly lucid
In a life illusion
Spending time aloof and it's..
It's like I'm half as human
Living life on a pass
Feeling twice as stupid
Suck it up now pass the fluid, past in ruins
Pick it up, fuck, put your back into it
Dear God, help me slay all the demons
From my fall into evil bring me up to the season in mind
Spring to life, free the beacon inside
Use a little tongue and cheek when you speak and be bright
I oughta laugh until I cry
And never rest until I die, never waste a breath while I'm still alive
And be the best in the eyes of those close to me
I guess better get my ass on back to the, back to the..

Brighter aura
Cause I'm not alone
I'm not a ghost
Healing light bring me back to a
Brighter aura
Oh, I'm not alone
I'm not a ghost
Healing light bring me back to a

Let her coffee brew in the kitchen
Gotta let the pot stew and forget it
Gotta tune in and listen
To a drizzle turn to downpour, listen to the static of the cloudburst tapping a rhythm it's like
A sightline for misty glasses
But your sitting on the sidelines and feel so average like
You lost a little Disney magic
When you found another weekend of whisky sadness cause
You want, you want love
What you're looking for is missing, it's tough to find her
If you want, she'll want out
You can feel it burn a little bit when caught up in the thick of it now
You want, you want love
What you're looking for is missing, it's tough to find plus..
If you want, she'll want him,
You can feel it burn a little bit it's best to get to living with a

Brighter aura
Cause I'm not alone
I'm not a ghost
Healing light bring me back to a
Brighter aura
Oh, I'm not alone
I'm not a ghost
Healing light bring me back to a

(Bridge)

Will you take me under
Bathe in water
Rain wash over me
with grace and honor, my brighter aura
Is what I wanna see (x2)

Will you take me under
Bathe in water (cause I’m not alone!)
Rain wash over me
with grace and honor, my brighter aura
Is what I wanna see (bring me back to a)

Will you take me under (brighter aura)
(Oh I’m not alone!)
Will you take me under
Healing light bring me back to a...
