Paralyzed/Static Thrill

About Me

I cant get to sleep, I cant catch my breath, I cant stop talking and I look like death.//
I'm the singer/songwriter for Entertainment.
I will rearrange you//.
I'm everyone's purse + everyone's fencing partner.//
I'll take you all on../
I can't relax because I haven't done a thing, and i can't do a thing because i can't relax./
I am always crashing in the same car///
Teenage tears sting my eyeballs in a town where I wasn't born//
ANXIETY ALWAYS

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.
Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, and secretive.
depressed, introverted, neat, needs things to be extremely clean, observer, perfectionist, not self revealing, does not make friends easily, suspicious, irritable, hates large parties, follows the rules, worrying, does not like to stand out, dislikes leadership, cautious, takes precautions, focuses on hidden motives, good at saving money, solitary, familiar with the dark side of life, hard working, emotionally sensitive, prudent, altruistic, heart over mind, unadventurous
"Entertainment - Founding member Trey is a perfectionist to a nearly self-destructive degree and the music shows it. Possibly the darkest, most tortured sound in post-punk..." - Seth Styles
"a lead singer with the sexual charisma of Marlene Dietrich wrapped up in Rozz Williams' self-loathing." - Chemical Cabaret
"you shouldn't mess with me, I'll ruin everything you are" IT ENDS UP LIKE THIS
