[00:00.00] 作词 : Brendan Whitney
[00:00.01] 作曲 : Brendan Whitney
[00:00.03]Concentrate on this wave of sound with the grace of falling towers
[00:03.42]Overpower each percussion hit with a split personality
[00:06.39]I'm growing accustomed to feeling down in the dumps
[00:08.55]and my tongue is sore and filled with teeth marks
[00:10.71]This is sounding all too familiar, let's change the topic to music
[00:14.31]I'm tired of talking, I'm eager to write in the first person point of view
[00:17.55]I'm also looking forward to collapsing from it all
[00:19.80]I went from unhappy to weirdness to unhappy once again
[00:22.92]It's a boring mess of sixteen measure soundbites
[00:25.23]and stretched out lambskin that isn't even mine
[00:27.72]I also feel inclined to mention that gut-wrenching feeling will not subside
[00:31.29]I ride in the uncertainty lane constantly biting my nails
[00:34.23]and glancing at the planes that keep passing over,
[00:36.33]longing to be on the inside, splitting a soda
[00:38.58]with the guy three seats ahead of me
[00:40.26]I didn't say hello? How socially dead of me
[00:42.51]How are you? Insert small talk here..
[00:45.33][Chorus]
[00:45.72]Please pass the "how are you's."
[00:46.98]I'm not trying to prove a point to the walking dead
[00:48.81]and use my songs as smelling salts to get inside your head
[00:51.24]Set off some introspect. Welcome to my world of jesters,
[00:54.09]the aforementioned and lost intellect
[00:55.86]Let's play "who's got it worst."
[01:08.67]I'm sure to lose but I'll be a good sport to keep it smooth
[01:11.97]and act as though I got something to prove to everyone around me
[01:15.06]Surrounding me with extended fingers
[01:16.89]Feel free to curl them inward, now sit and ponder that
[01:19.74]I'm tired of the preconceived. Let's all put our emotions on the table
[01:23.10]Tell me what you think of that. Okay, how 'bout the next one?
[01:25.38]My level of concern was left in ME,
[01:27.42]it created more room for the big "T"
[01:29.43]and now that's running low (haha)
[01:31.14]The skill is gone to the break of those points, whichever comes first
[01:34.08]Creative bursts from a joint with outbursts
[01:36.15]Rehearsed response never hurts but becomes overdone
[01:38.61]Let's all put our wax lips on
[01:40.08]and pretend that we're all having lots of fun for the sake of whoever
[01:43.32]Don't get upset and set up something clever to be said to prove a point,
[01:46.35]clench down on where it's sore
[01:47.94]Laughter and whispers have caused ears to sprout in the back of my head
[01:51.15]and have me feeling like I'm standing on a trap door
[02:11.70][Chorus]
[03:25.02]Let's play "who's got it worst." I keep losing
[03:27.36]Abusing the things I value most, what's my problem?
[03:30.09]Well, not to brag or boast, but I can't count the times
[03:32.37]I've been on the verge of losing the urge to continue this journey into myself
[03:35.88]I've sat down with those who don't have the time to discover their losses
[03:39.03]Theirs, not mine. I'm quite aware of where my belongings and my stance is
[03:42.27]Time to get used to the glances and head checks for myself
[03:45.06]and it's time to stop thinking and tone it down
[03:46.89]for the mental health of the one who's on the outside of the window
[03:49.56]"There's the bright side now!"
[03:51.09]I'll tiptoe over Jenn and get out of her side of the bed
[03:53.31]and somehow smile at the things that usually upset me
[03:56.13]"Turn that frown upside-down!"
[03:57.69]This is the motivational tape for...you guessed it
[03:59.85]Don't mind me, don't mind me, don't mine me..
[04:52.56][Chorus]
