lyrics

2015

the lyrics don't mean anything, but i made the loop on voicejam and thought it sounded good

___________________

no one's making headlines
they don't speak
they're apathetic sometimes
but they're far from weak
according to the source
it's all fine
they plaster on a smile
and brighten their eyes

stop let me give you a piece of my mind
i'd criticize but you're so high you're riding satellites
bits of dialog join the fog as it falls
this is the fourth wall hey i've broken today

you say here is the rain again
round up a couple friends
throw in a joke now and then
but the sentiment is always the same
if it rains on your parade
i'll close the shades
and hope it goes all day

you grab the mic and say you'll narrate
you tell a couple stories and the scene looks great
the words are catching up though one by one
soon the purpose goes and your show is done

i hope that the whole world is the same
with snake eyed arms and chessboard brains
disclaimer it's a consciousness flow day
none that saves what i made
what i wrote and i quote

you say here is the rain again
round up a couple friends
throw in a joke now and then
but the sentiment is always the same
if it rains on your parade
i'll close the shades
and maybe in a couple days
i'll see the setup wash away

if it rains i'll move away
i'll close the shades
and hope it goes all day
