lyrics

I am content but on the edge
I’m so excited, but what for?
Told someone the other day
That I felt my constant state of happiness
Was a fleeting one
I was drunk
Not sure I really believed it
Well, I did, but I guess not my wording of it
Or the fact that I was putting the feeling into words at all was overstating it

Let me get over myself already

It fades away
The seasons change
Blue to grey
It fades away

This ugly journal that I hold so dear
With so many romanticized entries
So much dreaming so much longing
So much lust
I’ll never change
I may seem more practical
No, not practical,
Self-critical
I’m not really
I just need to keep myself in check from time to time

Blue to grey
Beauty fades away
The seasons change
Blue to grey
Beauty fades away
The seasons change
Blue to grey
Blue to grey

“Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire a leur bonheur!”
They don’t seem to believe in their own happiness
That’s me
I don’t quite believe it cuz obviously
There should be something more at the core
Not this superficial shit
Which gives me an ongoing excited contentment
A potentially destructible one
The essence of which is manifested in my
Subtle uneasiness
Yeah yeah yeah
“Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire a leur bonheur”

It fades away
It fades away
It fades away
It fades away
