Take my hand, take a drag, take a seat take a cab, don’t you know?
It’s such a silly simple life
We’re all just dancing knife by knife
Pass the beer, pass a class, pass a chance of your life, now it’s gone
I know they’re speaking ill of me
But we’ll just have to wait and see
How--did it get, so, te,rrifying?
Did we fall so out of place
Are we even still alive, and
Is it worth this saving face?
Call the shots, call your dad, call for shots call a cab, but it’s fine
They’ll never see the reason why
Before you sleep each night you cry
Raise the flag, paint it white, skip the party tonight, but it’s fine
Reminds you what you’re cautious of
They’ll swarm you if they smell your blood
How--did it get, so, te,rrifying?
Did we fall so out of place
Are we even still alive, and
Is it worth this saving face?
You go on as you always have
Cry in the bathroom
Look in the mirror
But you’ll be fine
And you’ll be fine
It’s all you know to keep on moving
Just force a laugh
Laugh it off
And you’ll be fine
And you’ll be fine
Why does it always seem
It falls to us to
pick up the pieces
Why does it always seem
It falls to you and me to
pick up the pieces
Of our humdrum lives
Why does it always seem
It falls to us to
pick up the pieces
Why does it always seem
It falls to you and me to
pick up the pieces
Of our lives
Say you’re fine, say it’s great, ‘cause it’s really okay
Just one lie
You wouldn’t want to make a fuss
Just get down, socialize with us
How you still look ahead to when life as we know it is gone
But even when disaster strikes
You go on acting like it’s fine
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
