lyrics

I’ve got my blue-dog eyes on you
It’s so quintessential
Just what normal people do
And when the night is overdrawn
Just like my credit
Then you can wager I’ll be gone, gone, gone, and
If towns look just like pin-up girls
Just like Jayne Mansfield
Then I know just who I can blame
Why David Foster Wallace died
It’s so depressing
We come to see the full Midwest

I wouldn’t mind it if you told me “Frankly, I’m a little bit put off because you’re overzealous
but I’d take that any day over boredom anyway, anyway, anyway,”

I just assumed your métier
Was sidelong glances
Though I guess that don’t pay too well
Assumptions always lead me wrong
I’m second-guessing
But in a way my faith is strong
A surface reading of this song
Leaves something wanting
The footnotes give it all away
Which is of course just like my heart
Troublesome vessel
Which makes me loath to speak my mind

I wouldn’t mind it if you told me “Frankly, I’m a little bit put off because you’re overzealous; but I’d take that any day over boredom anyway, anyway, anyway,”

Dystopio EP
by mtvghosts

Love songs are so common these days. But . MTVGhost's Dystopio EP is a great inversion of this idea; it shows the decline of an unhealthy relationship, and the writing is powerful, yet simple. Don Kongo
