cannot hear you
maybe you should turn the mic up
maybe you should mix your track next time
maybe you could blow it up in some gay bar in the midwest
maybe you…
we can’t hear you
maybe you should turn the mic off
cannot look me in the eyes
but you have words to say
i bursted your bubble
didn’t do things your way
he’s so sensual, attempting
to be truthful, honest, whatever
then what’s the deal
with all the artificial?
he’s got no self-awareness
who does he think he is?
he’s only wanting self-promotion
who doesn’t wanna be in the biz?
tongue in cheek
won’t get to what you want to say
and that’s a haven, so i get it
i mean the castles are burning
the song have said it for decades
and no more gold rushes are happening
cannot look me in the eyes
but you have words to say
because i burst your bubble
wild one flew from the cuckoo’s nest
four years and now it’s the apocalypse
my blood has turned to wine
sobriety on the faultline
criticism on the frontline
i might get lost, and our minutes are up
so if its meant to be
you’ll hear me pulling siren
calling out to you
from outside your window
cannot look me in the eyes
but you have words to say
because i burst your bubble
cannot look me in the eyes
but you have words to say
i bursted your bubble
didn’t do things your way
he’s so sensual, attempting
to be truthful, honest, whatever
