Lyrics
Easy Way Out (early Version)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"it's my opinion", words you're never supposed to use
did she make an enemy of me, you know you do
now i'm stuck on a side you know i never chose
but it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
forlorn escapist always chasing someone else
an anxious arsonist burning out yourself
an invisible man who's always changing clothes
cuz it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
let me count the ways that i hate
(i fill you up, familiar too ??)
with the puzzle, with the problem
that i'm not gonna do
i heard you found another audience to bore
a creative thinker who imagined you were more
a new body for you who quickly decomposed
cuz it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
cuz it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
