Dragdown Memory
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.
Your introduction to my dreams
Is not as scary as it seems
Please avoid what I am thinking
But always look me in the eye
And all the stupid things I think of doing
I just might do 'em in the end
And it would be another sad sad story
Another bad disguise
As the king of the dragdown memory
Or a fool and his paranoid misery
Check the paranoid language
Hiding behind some mystery
'Cause there's no glory
In telling such an obvious story
Another teenage tragedy
Unfolds before our eyes
And it could be another sad sad story
And I apologize
If I'm the king of the dragdown memory
But I recognize
That every revolution is a pointless give and take
It's style is it's own reward
And any contradiction is a hint of honesty
We're young and sort of free and kinda sleazy
Good intentions only break good hearts
No one's willing to play that part
Unplanned appreciation is never enough
It takes pleasure to back it up
Now you're knocking at my door
Now you're walking in my door
You're just a friend and I'm just human
It's not as scary as it seems
It's not as scary as it seems
It's not as scary as it seems
