lyrics

[Intro]
And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong
Listen to music I can't relate to stare into this life
I've grown to hate through and through
Working out what I'll do

[Verse 1]
Only here for the sad songs
Sit down, it'll drag on
How long will the effects last
Snakes emerge from the high grass
Spit their venom then burrow holes
Diamonds started out as coal, I'm told
Pressure will crush you or make you thrive
I say inside
Only here for the sad songs as they speak to my soul
Lyrics cutting deep they scar, remind me of when I lost control
Scribbled folded paper in a jar, where you kept your regrets
Expectations I never met be them yours or mine
I wasn't the sign from god I wanted to be
Didn't turn into to the man you wanted to see


[Hook]
And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong


[Verse 2]

Play me the track
Remind me of what I lack
Tell me the tales no detail missed
Shed the skin let the mist fly away
Be real with me, confide in me
Reveal to me, lay it all down
Lie with me, don’t lie to me
I’m the prophet your the source
Sure you’ll profit
Just don’t stray your course

I need the conversation bring me down with the elevation
What you do is magic, when you dig through the tragic you’re the tape to the fragile

Jump in head first to alleviate, the sounds that help deviate
Destructive thoughts that rampage like a gang of youths
Speak the truth and I’ll listen through the fear and trembling and distance

[Hook]
And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

And I'll sit on this couch
As the world goes on
Watch the party alive
Work out where I belong

[Verse 3]
Hold this book, here’s a pen
There’s a place to be open
They don’t look, it depends
On how it will affect them
Write it and read it again and again
Put it to a tune it’ll be less intense
Hope they don’t read into it or take offence
Project a character, larger than life
Realise they won’t believe the hype
So start writing about your nights
Horrorshows to Walk You Home
Parties in the corner, odd one out disorder
Too long in bed syndrome
Staring at your phone with no one to call
Mountains of pages about your falls
The baggage you haul

Soundtrack 2 My Life, Man on the Moon
Talking To Myself, all afternoon
Love my company, X Infinity
Too much brings the fidgety, anxious
Moments that fuel my rhymes
Taking the time When It’s Dark Out
To be the Sad Boy your read about

Maybe then one day you’ll stand tall
So then someone can withdrawal to my wrongs
Vibe out to the Sad Songs
