Tales of Ordinary Sadness
Ordinary Sadness: A Reflection on Toxic Habits
Lyrics
I've got a message for you
I have a message to convey to you.
But wonder what's the chance it ever gets through
I question the likelihood of this message reaching you.
You've got bad habits
You possess detrimental behaviors.
As bad as your skin
These habits are as negative as the condition of your skin.
Don't you suffer from the shape that I'm in
Do you not experience pain or distress due to the situation I'm in?
Well, I'm sure that it thrills you when you pull my strings like a puppet, but
It might bring you pleasure to control me like a puppet, but...
I can think for myself and
I am capable of independent thought.
I'm not so sure about you, but
I'm uncertain about your capability in this regard.
Whatever, blah blah blah, I guess it's all the same to you
Regardless, you seem indifferent or apathetic.
You spent a lifetime just calling on me
You've spent your life relying on me.
No guts, no hunger for originality
You lack the courage and desire for originality.
I'm something you only imagine to be
You see me as something unattainable.
Your dirty shame has you to blame for your fucked up personality
Your own guilt and faults have contributed to your troubled personality.
Maybe I'm just very paranoid
Perhaps I'm overly suspicious,
But you're probably someone that I should avoid
but you might be someone I should avoid.
You think you leave your mark on society
You believe you're leaving an impact on society,
But honey, your wold looks like a fashion magazine
but in reality, your world is superficial, akin to a magazine.
Please pardon me for being candid
Forgive my bluntness,
But what exactly is bugging you and what's bugging me ?
but what troubles you and me?
From the very start of it, our love was sick and volatile
Our relationship has always been unhealthy and volatile.
Now there's nothing left of me
There's nothing left of who I used to be.
I'm just uptight and hostile
I'm tense and hostile now.
I want you to understand that I don't wanna hold your hand
I don't want to support you blindly.
Through every little step you take
I won't accompany you through every misstep,
We're all allowed to make mistakes
though mistakes are permissible.
But you have made a few or more
You've made numerous errors.
And when I look at you
When I see myself reflected in your eyes,
Reflected in your eyes
I witness your ordinary sorrow mirrored back at me.
Your ordinary sadness lookings back at me
(Empty line)
I've got a message for you
but I'm unsure if it'll reach you.
But wonder what's the chance it ever gets through
You possess detrimental behaviors,
You've got bad habits
as harmful as your physical condition.
As bad as your skin
Do you not suffer due to the situation I'm in?
Don't you suffer from the shape that I'm in ?
(Empty line)
You spent a lifetime just calling on me
You've relied on me for a lifetime,
No guts, no hunger for originality
lacking bravery and originality.
I'm something you only imagine to be
You see me as something unattainable,
I'm gonna rid of your stupidity
but I'll eradicate your foolishness.
I'm sick of you, I'm sure
I'm tired of you, and I'm certain
You're just as sick of me
that you're equally fatigued with me.
I'm sick of it all, so sick
I'm exhausted by everything, extremely so.
I'm sick of it all, so sick
(Repeats the sentiment from line 49 about exhaustion.)
