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

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)

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

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
