lyrics

shy is just another word for unfriendly
high is just another word for amused
try is just another word for unending
and i am just another word for confused

there’s a voice in my head
he’s cruel translator mocks the words i’ve said
there’s an ear in my mind
it’s focused on the fear, leaves the rest behind
flush the flesh and eat the rind

cry is just another word for ungrateful
lie is just another word for believe
why is just another word for unfaithful
and i am just another word for deceived

there’s a voice in my head
it’s a funhouse mirror view of some books i’ve read
there’s a thumb in my eye
and the more i see the deeper down it dives
it’s enough to make you cry

fly is just another word for ungrounded
bye is just another word for disown
my is just another word for unbounded
and i am just another word for alone

you’re not the only one feeling left behind
another lonely one longing for peace of mind

there’s a choice in my brain
should i take a new direction or stay the same
there’s a chance in my brain
I could end this senseless reflection
and start again
I think therefore I’m damned

shy is just another word for unfriendly
high is just another word for confused
try is just another word for unending
and i am just another word for abused
you know i feel like i’ve been used
i guess that’s why they call it the blues
