(Don't sweat the little stuff, k?)

lyrics

I wrote a line about a ship destroyed in a storm. The imagery’s nice but the story is so worn. Plus, I’ve never seen the sea. I’m metaphorically landlocked so I make up waves in the gutters where I walk.

Like an abandoned building’s walls, can’t I stand until they bring a wrecking ball? So cut me up, tear me down.

Well, my bus was so late and my tea ain’t that great, you’d swear I’m the target of genocide. And yes, I’ve always lived in the castle. I’ve never gone outside.

I won’t blame a privileged life on the reason why I can’t survive one. So cut me up, tear me down.

Yes, I know that it’s all relative, but these are the palest shade of blues. And they’re easy to hum along to, that’s how they got passed onto you. I know I’m not as tough as the bricks of Aughrim Street. But I’ll outlast your sails as you drown in a puddle. That’s it, I swear I’ve had enough of this.

So cut me up, tear me down.
