I'll write a song in the key of B flat for you
since that's all I can seem to do
with the same damn words and progessions too
since thats all I can seem to use
this songs already been sung before
so many goddamn times
these aren't my chords and you can bet your ass
these aren't my lines
because everything I do
as already been done before
and everything I say
has already been sung before
by people much more talented than me
by people that I'll never get to be
so take me away
to a place where I won't sing no more
lock me away
in a place where I can't hear no more
things I can never write myself
sounds I can never make myself
I don't really care now
about the songs that you can't hear
because they're there and I know and I always will
till the day death takes my ears
you'll say that it's not that big of a deal
that no one can even tell
but plagiarism isn't what I had in mind
when I set this ship to sail
I've been here before
and every time it's jus the same
and I can't even tell
if I've moved forward at all
so don't just let me be
singing songs that I don't wanna sing
now this pencils getting heavy
I don't know if I can hold it anymore
I'm no great visionary, I'm just a stealing fucking whore
If I ever find my way I'll bring it back to
yeah it's just a lame excuse for everything you got me through
Because all i ever wanted was to be grater than the sheep around me
but if I give up right now will I ever even be something
or will I just stare at my screen, thinking of the fucking should bees
going to shows with all my heros knowing that I'll never be like them
but like I fucking said.
I just wanted to be something
no lies and no hypocrisy
but I've stumbled into a hole
that I can't seem to get out of
