Dear Mr. Smith

from Mirrored Mountains EP by Goldenboy Prevails!

lyrics

Life is simple, life is strange
I'm looking in and feeling outwards
Feeding lies and pretty orchids
All the while I've been hiding in the hills
To not complain when they say

"Life is easy, life is fun"
But they don't live the lie that I do
What the hell do they think I do?
If it only took "I love you,"
Then the world would not complain
But they say

No more,
I don't want to see no more
Violence against my kin
I'll relate to anyone

Life is pictures, life is frames
We draw these lines and fill these boxes
Hang ourselves on all these crosses
If you're dying for a cause
All the trees still look the same
But they say

Life is yours, this life is mine
They can't take away my secret
In this studio apartment
Where I'm stranded by myself
Guess I really can't complain
But still say

No more
I don't want to hear no more
Violence against my kin
I'll relate to anyone
No more
I don't want to wait no more
I've been standing here,
The lights go out at midnight, right?

Life is simple, life is pain
I'm looking in and feeling anger
Dodging food and sleep and water
All the while, I've been lying
Taking pills to not complain
But they say

No more
I don't want to feel no more
Violence against my skin
I'll relate to anyone but me

No more
So I don't want to live no more
I can't handle it, goodbye I guess
Forever now

I'm a simple, lonely soul
I can't change the way I'm feeling
About the world and my own viewing
So I'm writing this to you
In hopes that you won't do the same
But they say

No more
I don't want to think no more
About the pain I've caused
Or heard
Or seen
Or read about

No more
I don't want to hate no more
But I can't change my world or figure something better out...
