Dear Diary
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.
Dear diary, you'll never guess
They think this album's over long
(well it's not over long but it sucks)
The critics aren't impressed
(it's not as good as the other one)
Blah blah blah blah blah
Well fuck you
Here comes the summer time again my friends
Run for cover, they're allergic
New york city's super s??, babe
It's always summer in la
Ok, you know i got this way with words
But i am b a n a s can't spell for shit
My reflection
My reflection's coming back again these days
These sweet summer days
A few corrections
Some slight adjustments
And i'm morphing on my way into the light of the day
A little shadow is ok once in a while
A little shadow is ok
But not today
I can see my reflection again
You won't need a handkerchief to listen to this one
It's mainly just about fucking, tennis shoes and bubble gum
Maybe i'll write a section strictly for the wolf part
Human part creatures sad and doomed to walk the earth at night
Poor little werewolves, poor little werewolves poor little werewolves
Ok that's done
My reflection
My reflection's looking more like me again these days
These sweet summer days
A few corrections
Some slight adjustments
And i'm morphing on my way into the light of the day
A little shadow is ok once in a while
A little
A little shadow is ok but not today
But you know the sunshine is making me smile
It's badass it's badass
Whatever
Yeah i know
Yeah it's making me dumb i don't mind
I did my time down in the gutter
Guitar solo
This solo would be weird
The actual solo is rocking your world right now
And this is where we're playing
A little shadow is ok once in a while
A little shadow is ok not today
A little shadow is ok once in a while
A little shadow is ok not today
My reflection
Is coming back again
My reflection
Is coming back again
My reflection
Is coming back again
My reflection
Dear diary
There were no guitar solos in the album i just purchased by bep
Over long ending
So the ending is very, very long and i'm not really sure i understand the soliquisms of the metaphoric stuff between the first album and the third thing and i've gotta get some more cheetos
