Only One
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.
I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
Must have been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myself
I ain't the only one to say
I'm talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes
I ain't the only one to say
Little pictures in my head
Turning inside out again
Cause fucking up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse
You tell me what you fear cause I can feel it like a curse
Well, you used to be a folk singer now you're just a jokesinger
Ain't no smoking dope singer swinging from a rope singer
I ain't the only one to say
