Sorrow, won't you take it down a notch
'Cause I'm weary of gloom and impatient to bloom
So buzz off
I've had enough and others do agree
Don't go leeching around on unfortunate frowns like me
Pure in heart and worlds to see
Papers say be brave and straighten out
But whenever I try, you grow stronger inside
So I doubt (and I don't know what to do)
I'm sure you must feel clever, dodging my endeavors
Our quarrel can wait
Let us rest and mediate
'Cause I'm drained and out of great desire to change
Seemingly wise
Reciting good advice
Still I'm lost and afraid
Helplessly drowning in the make-believe charade
Seeking photographs a lifetime away
Someone I barely even know today
Maybe it's all a meaningless pursuit
I'm just easily swayed by the somber parade
And its dew
I ought to learn to shove the dread aside
'Cause I'd like to believe I'm not quite so naive as may seem
Though it's safe to say I tried
(Safe to say I tried)
(Safe to say I tried)
Seemingly wise
Reciting good advice
Still I'm lost and afraid
Helplessly drowning in the make-believe charade
Seeking photographs a lifetime away
Someone I barely even know today
