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
