lyrics

2014

i sang this one at the berklee five-week songwriting showcase, was fun
________________________

lovely lady liberty told me
"look around, there's no way you can be
an original, it's impossible, you're one of many
kids with acoustic attention machines"

i tried my best to leave her words behind
so i'll be there like state farm
in her new york state of mind

oh no, never mind
my world is too idealized
the concept's crumbling down
it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
so take a shot of some unnecessary pessimism
there's just no need to sing
i don't mean anything

even though some hope has crawled away
there are still some words my hypocritical self will never say
check out the product of my mind
it's vi IV I V
finally originality's mine
but i still sing the song society has written just for me
i only get 12 notes for diy identity

oh no, never mind
my world is too idealized
the concept's crumbling down
it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
so take a shot of some unnecessary pessimism
there's just no need to sing
i don't mean anything

then this lady took one look at me
and she saw right through my new identity
"you're just a frankenstein of influence
but i guess that's all alright
go call yourself unique
if the thought helps you sleep at night"

oh no, never mind
my world is too idealized
the concept's crumbling down
it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
so take a shot of some unnecessary pessimism
there's just no need to sing
i don't mean anything and isn't it nice
isn't it nice isn't it nice
