blinking spirit/bad habits
"blinking spirit/bad habits" is what happens when you think it would be really fun and interesting to combine two songs together that are tied together in theme. "blinking spirit" is the arrogance, the blind foolishness of relying on that which shields us from facing our demons. "bad habits" is acknowledging our demons and moving past them. props to Bronski Beat's "Small Town Boy" for inspiring the harmonies near the end of the track. i really like the song(s) and can't understand why it's such an underdog [no one ever mentions this pair as one (two?) of their favourites]

lyrics
the spirit carries me
i am flying i can't stop climbing i must go straight
to the sun
i can't stop
if i keep up i will be reborn
this old skin
weighs me down
it's a burden that i can live without
i need
to find
a
place
where
i can be forever
free
of
things
that
bind
me
to this palace of flames
the spirit carries me
i am flying i can't stop climbing i must go straight
to the sun i can't stop
if i keep up i will be reborn
i'll be reborn
i'll be reborn
there's just something i want you to know
i'm only like this when i'm left alone
left to my idle hands and my wastes of time
there's no sun where the curtains are drawn
i'm a junkie in need of a fix
it's not something I like to admit
you might laugh at the thought of it all
tell that to the man who's been filling your holes
chorus:
we can kick this
it's just "bad habits"
there's nothing we can't fix
just give it more time
i've been strung out on nothing for days
i've been wondering am I stuck in my ways?
there might be something I didn't see
something else that could cure this disease
these big businesses making us sick
they've been feeding us poisonous shit
i'm so sick of this profit machine
if i had a gun... no, there must be another way
chorus
end chorus
give it more
give it more
give it more time
