Lyrics
Dull Boy
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.
All work and no play makes me a dull boy.
All work and no play makes me a dull boy.
All work and no play makes me a dull boy.
All work and no play makes me a dull boy!
Live in a secret.
Live in a lie.
Live in a dark hole beneath the black sky.
Live like a martyr and draw my last breath.
Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest.
Live like a Transian.
Live like a thief.
Hide in a closet, grinding my teeth.
Sit in a small room with the walls closing in.
Open the shutters but everythings still dim.
Payback.
For all the things.
I've done in my past.
Payback.
For everything.
There are no take-backs.
I'm not the reason.
It's not my fault.
It's not my problem.
I'm not the cause.
I'm not your scapegoat.
I'm not your god.
I'm not your martyr.
I'd leave you all.
I'm not the reason (I'm not your scapegoat).
It's not my fault (I'm not your god).
It's not my problem (I'm not your martyr).
I'm not the cause (I'd leave you all).
Work and no play makes me a dull boy.
Feel like a clown without my funny nose.
Walk to the window break it out with my fist.
Jump from the sill and I'll plunge to my death.
You can be selfish whatever ya think.
Throw back my pills and take a sip of my drink.
Walk under the clouds.
Walk under the trees.
Always again envy covering me.
Payback.
For all the things.
I've done in my past.
I'm not the reason.
It's not my fault.
It's not my problem.
I'm not the cause.
I'm not your scapegoat.
I'm not your god.
I'm not your martyr.
I'd leave you all.
I'm not the reason (I'm not your scapegoat).
It's not my fault (I'm not your god).
It's not my problem (I'm not your martyr).
I'm not the cause (I'd leave you all).
Sunshine's gone.
It's all gone.
By the way.
Just so you know.
Always this is how I feel.
By the way.
Just so you know.
Always everyday this is how I feel.
I'm not the reason.
It's not my fault.
It's not my problem.
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scape goat (I'm not your scape goat).
I'm not your god (I'm not your god).
I'm not your martyr (I'm not your martyr).
This is how I feel (This is how I feel).
By the way.
Just so you know.
Always everyday this is how I feel.
