I can only stand the old tunes
Listen to what I’m used to
Know the words,
The riffs, the licks
Still it’s got the magic
To move new
I hear with the same ears
But I just think of the brain
It once moved through
I’ll never be the same again
No point hammering on
That loose screw
What is it you’re looking for?
What is it you got playing?
You said you never had dreams before
And I find that amazing
How someone can engulf the world
And never picture glory
But you look ahead, not like me
Replaying the same old story
I used to watch films on repeat
Couldn’t bare change out the disk
And every time I’d rewind I’d find
All these things I’d missed
There’s been so many happenings now
So much stuff to consider
Too much came in, too much booted out
I’ve lost the will to figure
But I ain’t screen staring
Or tunes blaring
Ain’t got the energy
To indulge
Not dolled up darling
Daring or charming
Prefer taking the makeup off
As I unfold
I don’t want to be reminded of my dreams
Don’t wanna think about missed opportunities
Be beaten with that stick of stuck
I’ve found that instead of tears that drown
Or belly laughs that pound
It’s better to not give a fuck
You know what that’s taken from me?
All these pretty little quirks
Instead of trying something cool and new
I’d rather be safe with what I know works
That’s why I’m on the classic albums
The songs that’ve ran through thick and thin
The problem with that is
I’m missing out on the brilliance
That new experience brings…
