Emotional Disturbance
04:18
|
|||
You moved away right after I left the other day
Is it real, or is it excusive fake
Something beautiful was created
But now it just faded away
Leaving me in this in-between situation
Love or hate, move on or stay
Maybe we are just passing through
Like we were supposed to do
Deep down I still feel so messed up in this
emotional disturbance (x2)
Looking through my journal
I was very much in hope
Never knew the adventure already ended
When we raised up to toast
A road could lead to somewhere warm
But like summer breeze, It never came
It keeps beginning and disappearing in this
Full of possibility Californian village
Maybe we are just passing through
Like we were supposed to do
Deep down I still feel so messed up in this
emotional disturbance (x2)
Is it why you cried on the day I a–rrived
LA’s for–ever sunny sky
Is it cuz you know that this could ha–ppen
Like a fate, the fairytale never stays
Maybe we are just passing through
Like we were supposed to do
Deep down I still feel so messed up in this
emotional disturbance (x2)
This emotional disturbance
This emotional, emotional disdurb

Silver In My Hair

I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older but am I getting wiser
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older but time seems moving faster every year
Every intersection I wonder if I made the right turn
Was all the growing pain worth the trauma buried under
How do you not hesitate every step of the way
When you are just clueless about the future of your fate
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older, I hope I’m getting somewhere
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older, I hope I’m getting anywhere but nowhere
Sometime it feels like I’m running in circles
I’m losing track of the hours of the days of the years
How do you know what things to keep, what things to cast away
When you are holding onto the physical paints of memories
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older, I’m used to the harsher weather
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older, but I still need to find a shelter
How do you know when the puzzle is getting tougher to decode
Too many people wear the masks to know if they are friends or foe
Time is flying like seasons changing, it comes and goes
Only the ones that stay are true, so please do hold them close
I got silver in my hair
I got silver in my hair
I am growing older
I hope I'm getting wiser (x2)

Bacon and Whiskey
03:44

The rain keeps falling outside of my window
The cars keeps rushing by
I looked into the distant future in the Sunday morning light
The phone won't stop ringing, inside and out of my head
The bedroom kept on spinning, I just wanna lay in bed
I just wanna be left the fuck alone
Have my bacon and coffee in my home
Ron Swanson had it right all along
It's breakfast in the afternoon
Reaching for the coffee, the coffee is yet to be made
Tasting my whiskey breath, I'm lost in a haze
Crawling to the bathtub, washing the night off
Trying to keep myself awake, in the burning hot shower falls
I just wanna be left the fuck alone
Have my bacon and coffee in my home
Ron Swanson had it right all along
It's breakfast in the afternoon
Eggs and bacon, put it on my plate!
Drowning in bacon, just to stay awake
Eggs and bacon, put it on my plate!
Drowning in bacon, just to stay awake
I just wanna be left the fuck alone
Have my bacon and coffee in my home
Ron Swanson had it right all along
It's breakfast in the afternoon (it's breakfast in the after)
It's breakfast in the afternoon

This is not going to work
This things between us tangled up
I don’t want to lose a friend
But you are leaving me no choice
I try-and-tried to talked to you
There’s always something you make me do
I don’t wanna be part of this whole-
I like you, but, yes, maybe, no
Maybe it’s all in my head
But the fire is burning through me
Maybe it’s me, my destructive side
But I think you still owe me
A reason why
For your perfect, invisible crime
You got me hooked first, you walk away
Then you let me in on a little secret that you held
Your formula worked
So go ahead and start cele-brate
You said you care for me
But I wonder if that’s just something you say
I set up boundaries you choose to break
I don’t know what you trying to make, But you
really, really hurt me
I can’t help myself to continue my misery
When the wound is cut so deep
It’s hard to pull out the knife
And stop the bleeding
One day the hurting is gonna stop
And the wound is gonna heal
By the time I wish for you is to
See what you weren’t able to feel
Cuz apathy blinded your sight
And drilled hole in your soul
Only if we share the weights of our pain
Can we heal
Cuz all I ever wanted for the world
Is a little bit more love and peace
And a little scary monsters roaming the streets

You don’t see him
Cuz he’s over at my home watching
Rocky horror
We are all alone
Don’t you want him
I won’t make a move I swear
Our parents
Won’t approve
This shit house
I’ll have my kicks till I get out
My stout heart
Finding comfort as I burn out
You are a big girl
Don’t cry out in this small town thinking
Of a thousand
more meltdowns
Won’t you let me
Keep this boy in my basement playing
Video games
Feeling the distance
This shit house
I’ll have my kicks till I get out
My stout heart
Finding comfort as I burn out
I know you see me seeing him
Steal glances at your skirt
I know his mind is on you
As his hand reaching up my shirt
This shit house
This shit town
My stout heart
My weak sound

English Degree

I went to a party to chill out
The apartment is decently pretty, I'm checking out
When I saw a picture frame on the shelf
It's an English degree
Oh Michael, I wonder how you are now
What do you do for a living? Was it tough to get a job
All the books that you read about compassion with passion
Was it worth the debt and doubt?
All the arts and humanities the rich don't care about
Doesn't mean they are no use at all
It's better off a rebel than a heartless robot
Got no blood on your hands, nothing weighs on your conscience
You can sleep in peace at the night fall
It's better off a penniless fool than a soul sucking tool
I woke up early this day in 2012
Rushing to the basement of Dumbach hall
Professor had a cynical sense of humor
I remember the joke he tried to tell
I hope what I'm about to say is a wake up call
To you all the English majors having second thoughts
If you stick to your decision here, there's not gonna be any job
Waiting in the real world
Or you can be like me
Take a decade of your life to get a PhD
Only to be stuffed in a tiny office
Like sardine fish
That's the price you pay to know
All the arts and humanities the rich don't care about
Doesn't mean they are no use at all
It's better off a rebel than a heartless robot
Got no blood on your hands, no weight on your conscience
You can sleep in peace at the night fall
It's better off a fool than a soul sucking tool
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oooo
Oh an English Degree
A paper that doesn't pay
By the end of the day, you hope it's all worth it
Oh an English Degree
A paper that doesn't pay
By the end of the day, you hope it's all worth it
