lyrics

Lyrics:

Just writing off the cuff
Wondering if it'll be enough to
Say the things I know I' never say
And if I talk crap on this track about the world around me
It's not worth it cuz no one else is gonna hear me (hear me)
Woah
Woah

I sat down with not some pins but an exacto
To write down the words I'd always wanted to say
The ones burning in my throat
In a medium more tender than my feelings
A medium that bleeds
If we’re being honest
I'm quite acquainted with my doubt
And I could never doubt this more

What's the use?
I'm not really writing anything worth listening to.
In the end its just another bad day
And another bad night.
Oh well.
I'll just keep doing what I do
Cuz it's well wasted time
You of all know I don't write - enough
