about

I've been working on this for a while. Not totally happy with the verses or all the lyrics but I love the rest of it and I just wanted to move on, so maybe I'll come back to it later. Lots of influence in particular from "Vocal Coach" by Bomb The Music Industry, "Jackass" by Green Day, and "Cuomoville" by Weezer.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I can't wax romantic
Or weave nice metaphors
My journal entries
Hang on every door

I've got no hiding places
I can't do poetry
I linger on the shit
That makes me angry

Chorus:
But I'll try to be myself again
Match the pretty pictures in my head
And I'll study all the negatives
Deconstructing my unhappiness

Verse 2:
You take things more for granted
The longer they go on
I'm comfortable with
Drowning in the dawn

Now I'm afraid to say this
Cause I can't take it back
It's much safer
Imitating artifacts

Chorus:
But I'll try to be myself again
Match the pretty pictures in my head
And I'll study all the negatives
Deconstructing my unhappiness

Post-Chorus:
I feel so empty, I feel so empty
Pondering all my regrets
As another attempt falls apart again
I broke my heart again

*solo*

Chorus:
But I'll try to be myself again
Match the pretty pictures in my head
I'll deflect bad thoughts with positives
But I know I need much more than this

Post-Chorus:
I feel so empty, I feel so empty
Pondering all my regrets
As another attempt falls apart again
I broke my heart again

I just feel so empty, I'm so fucking empty
Pondering all my regrets
As another attempt falls apart again
I broke my heart again
