lyrics

I've got to get away. They've come to eat me alive, they want to tear apart my life. I’m getting comments by the day. “Your songs feel honest, I want to pick apart your insides!” I cut my wings, throw up, and I say:

I’m not your goddamn friend. Get the fuck outta my head. I’m not doing this for you, I just don’t know what to do. So shut the fuck up and hear what I say:

Don’t ask me for advice. Don’t say that I’m your paradise. I’m just as fucked up as you. I’m not your goddess.

I swear I didn’t care about what’ll sell and won’t. But now it’s just not fair. I’m not used to being heard, so I lash out against those who care the most about my words. I down a cold one and so I say:

Stop fucking calling me punk. There’s nothing punk about a drunk. But none of you are punk rock. There’s nothing rock in your talk, stop embarrassing yourselves and myself.

Going on a DM spree. This pressure’s killing me. They don’t know this is for you, I’m still fucked up over you. I just can’t do it anymore; thought I had done this before. Can I even do this alone? I never feel at home. I better go outside then.

“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가 ... more
