(Check out my last 2 posts for context)
I’m doing another song for my lyric journal! I just would like some input, because I’m having trouble narrowing down what song I should do next. I’ll put the lyrics below, if you don’t know the songs. I’m also planning on doing all of these songs at some point :)
Baby Hotline//Jack Stauber Lyrics:
Baby Hotline
Please hold me close to you
Baby flat-line
Still time to do it too
(Ha-ha-ha!)
Baby snack time
Chow down to earth but in your head
She's a hoarder of quarters
And no boundary boredom-dum
Boundary boredom
I contend that your drinking eye has never opened
I insist somebody will die
And I hate hoping
Wishing that the pills let you cry
And I hate coping
Someday I will go back outside
And see her okay
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
My line is getting cold!
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
"Oh, uh, I'll try again"
Baby Hotline
Please dial "9" to get out!
No flat-line
What were you scared about?
(Ha-ha-ha)
Baby sat by and felt the wind
At least I called her a hoarder of quarters
And no boundary boredom-dum
Boundary boredom!
I contend that your drinking eye has never opened
I insist somebody will die
And I hate hoping
Wishing that the pills let you cry
And I hate coping
Someday I will go back outside
And see her okay
(For a while)
(While, oh)
(For a while)
(While, oh)
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
My line is getting cold!
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
Numb, feel burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now what a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste
Sunbathe 'til morning time
And your e-eyes will open wide
(What a waste)
Oh baby nevermind
And my si-ight will run and hide
I can say
Oh wrap it in with cinnamon
(What about...)
I've been dead
Oh wrap the trouble now (Ha Ha!)
I feel so good
Ring won't bend (And you did it)
Thinking bent, oh
I won't stay more anymore, oh I don't even think about it
Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
LOSER//Neoni Lyrics:
What's the problem? You're acting like the house's on fire
I'm the problem, no it's just the way I'm wired
Sorry to disappoint you but I just won't budge
Just give up on me, give up on me
I'm a lost cause, do it the way I want
Don't get a say, I'm boss of the one and only me, myself and
I'm long gone, think I'm insane, why not
Go on and say what you want
Like I'm a loser, loser
I got nothing to prove yeah, prove yeah
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Like I'm a loser, loser
I don't answer to you, to you
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, loser
Tell me again how I'll make a fool of myself
Try to be friends then you burn me down and call it help
I need you about as much as a hole in my head
Please give up on me, give up on me
I'm a lost cause, do it the way I want
Don't get a say, I'm boss of the one and only me, myself and
I'm long gone, think you're a saint, you're not
Go on and say what you want
Like I'm a loser, loser
I got nothing to prove yeah, prove yeah
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Like I'm a loser, loser
I don't answer to you, to you
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, loser
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, loser
Lo-lo-lo-loser
Like I'm a (lo-lo-lo-loser)
Like I'm a (lo-lo-lo-loser)
Like I'm a (lo-lo-lo-loser)
Like I'm a loser, loser
I got nothing to prove yeah, prove yeah
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Like I'm a loser, loser
I don't answer to you, to you
I don't really care, middle fingers in the air
Like, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, loser
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, loser
Loved//FEiN Lyrics:
You're an entitled piece of shit
You're just a pot smoking, good for nothing
Kids today, yeah, they don't want to work
I made mistakes, I'll it
I gave you participation trophies
Maybe I'm to blame, maybe I'm not
All the books I read proclaimed
That they had cracked the secret
Of instructing me on how to raise a man
And yet a quarter century elapsed
And what have you to show for it?
You play with the piano while I work
Bah, ba-ba-dah
You were loved
Bah, ba-ba-dah
Were you too
Loved?
Loved
Loved
Loved
Optimistic son of a bitch
You're just a molly rolling, good for nothing
Kids today, yeah, they don't wanna work
You could've been an engineer
Instead I told you do whatever makes you happy
And you'll never truly work
Several lines of credit later
University gave you a paper
Then they sent you back to me
I guess retirement will have to wait
I'll die on my feet before
I live to see you get your ass to work
Bah, ba-ba-dah
You were loved
Bah, ba-ba-dah
Were you too
Loved?
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved
Loved, loved, loved
Loved, loved, loved
Mm, mm
I’m Not A Cynic//Alec Benjamin Lyrics
I'm just bein' realistic, bein' honest with myself
I've tried bein' optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll just have to it this is the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not bein' pessimistic, just bein' honest with myself
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
You only get that which you're given, it's not always up to you
Not every Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue
You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some days you have to wait until the storm just es through
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake
Fake my emotions and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
Ship in a Bottle//fin Lyrics:
You can fit everything you know
In a bottle for you to show
Pick your brain apart and put it in
And build it again with needles and pins
Everything you have earned is a ship
With blue waves crashing into it
But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore
With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
To see what is breaking the foremast
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain, deal, oh, captain, deal, oh
There are red spots under your eyes
From when you cry into the sky
Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm
You feel the glass start to crack
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
Flying flags of ships that have long since
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'Cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain, deal, oh, captain, deal, oh
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'Cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain, deal, oh, captain, deal, oh
