SkyBabyRecords: Music & Lyrics
Little Wisdom
i remember the days,
counting all the colours of your soul,
and i remember waiting.
whose fault is it this time?
i’ve lost count of all the liberties i gave.
one more won’t make a difference.
take it,
take it,
take it, please.
and how do you fake this line?
how do you make it so right?
i can naturally just turn.
the feeling’s sharp,
but soon it will be over.
i hope the recoil stays with you.
this tongue is tired and dry.
i can’t be bothered
pulling teeth or opening wide,
but mouth-to-mouth could save me.
save me,
save this,
drag it away.
and how do you fake this life?
how do you make it so hard to learn
from my mistakes?
and it’s so hard to learn.
but i’ve been chasing this cage,
and i’ve been losing my place
on this page, now.
all of this rain,
all of this plea,
all of these feelings building up in me,
all of the slain,
all of this night,
all of those times you pretended to try.
no.
but i’ve been chasing this cage,
and i’ve been losing my place
on this page,
and it’s cynical,
it’s cynical now.
and it’s so hard to learn,
but you need a little wisdom.
and it’s so hard to learn,
but you need a little wisdom, baby.
you need a little wisdom, baby.
