you're a sad sap and pop won't save you
you're a sad sap and you'll never get paid to
write a damn rap hit, yeah you'll never break through
move across the map it'll never change you
I am so lost and I am so found
just trying to keep my ear to the ground
and like jadusable, I have drowned
at the bottom I can't hear a single sound
what's fake is present me
it's not for love that I sing
all I need is some money
no wonder I'm incomplete
do you remember the perfect day, third verse
the story of the mornings we'd pray in turns
if I had the chance I'd take it (take it)
if I had a plan I'd make it (make it)
for the time being I guess I'm sightseeing
in a face that seems so naked (naked)
you're a sad sap and pop won't save you
you're a sad sap and you'll never get paid to
write a damn rap hit, yeah you'll never break through
move across the map it'll never change you

I feel bad, I couldn't pick up the phone
I feel bad, I know you didn't wanna be alone
if it's any consolation I think you're the better known
and that reputation shows when I hear the radio
because sometimes I feel like I'm very weak
and if I can't get out of bed I'm stuck there for a week
it's either sleep or don't leave
there is no in between there is no you and me
there is nothing in between
thanks again for the affectionate criticism
but I sense a small hint of cynicism
in your homemade delivery system
you know well I'm tryna keep my distance
two a day to keep me awake
and I'm still in bed, give me a break
if I can't get out of this damn metropolis
it's because of this fucking pop music
taejung kayo, take me home
out from my own passing tone
she became my giving tree
and everything she'd give to me
she'd do it so beautifully
that I would always feel complete
but I was in the mystery wondering if she would retreat
so frightened she would leave got me nervous
on this city street
glorious we became the enemy
outlook so bleak even covered by the sheets
in a snow-filled town, state of emergency
it had all broken down so I got on my knees
taejung kayo, take me home
out from my own passing tone

with you I'd rather die tonight
you know me, I won't put up a fight
we'll see a world we can't describe
don't tell our friends they won't even ask why
instead we'll smile with an effort just to hide the truth
detach myself from memories of all the years I've spent with you
a minor mistake led to dollar store steak
and now I've struck gold, I'm just waiting for my back to break
hope is the parent of a disappointed blank stare
spent so much time on it but there's still truth there
I still scream and get dizzy like I'm too blind
look into a mirror, tell me why I'm like this, why
my head is the blackest black
your lips are the brightest red
as all this time goes by
our colors mesh less and less
fade fade fade fade away
come again another day
take on another shape
maybe one day you'll feel okay
a cheap bouquet that wilts on the way over
a year or two, the wait just keeps growing
can we keep spending on all these days with no money?
can we keep going on all this endless hoping?
no but I do think there's something else to be said for
two lovers, unintentionally bred poor
week nights ground floor smoke out the screen door
guess it's just not like that, anymore
hope is the parent of a disappointed blank stare
punch it open, my hands become blood rare
dumbfounded by the truth I just stood there
took two minutes just to ask "how's the weather"
my head is the blackest black
your lips are the brightest red
as all this time goes by
our colors mesh less and less
fade fade fade fade away
come again another day
take on another shape
maybe one day you'll feel okay

broken

when I was young I was open to loving
now that I'm grown there's nothing, no one
I used to think I was a little bit crooked
but tonight, yeah tonight I'll be broken
used car, no confidence
never believed in decadence
had a lot to say about my friends
never took precedence
where are you thoughts now, it's a beautiful day
never start to wonder how until you went away
why didn't I know that there's no girl like you
and why didn't I know there's humor in the truth
well look at me now, mirrored image on the TV
I made it somehow and this is all your doing
when I was young I was open to loving
now that I'm grown there's nothing, no one
I used to think I was a little bit crooked
but tonight, yeah tonight I'll be broken
going out with lighter in hand
it's all I know and all I'll ever be
oh selfish me waiting on a porchlight
am I alone? yeah tonight I'll be broken
I'll do my best to figure out where my life is taking me
but without you I don't even know where I am supposed to be
I'm afraid, I want to go back but I've got nowhere to go
I want to love but no one to love
what am I supposed to do?
mukogawa girls have got the best of me
mukogawa girls will be the death of me
what's left of me is entropy
it still lives with me in vain
I still sing it every day
wash it off and it still stays
it's the pain I can't replace
when I was young I was open to loving
now that I'm grown there's nothing, no one
I used to think I was a little bit crooked
but tonight, yeah tonight I'll be broken
going out with lighter in hand
it's all I know and all I'll ever be
oh selfish me waiting on a porchlight
am I alone? yeah tonight I'll be broken
when I was young I was open to loving
now that I'm grown there's nothing, no one
I used to think I was a little bit crooked
but tonight, yeah tonight I'll be broken

sorry I don't spend more
time with your mother
you know that I can't afford
to pretend to be lovers
it's not that I'm lonesome
it's just that I get bored
if I don't leave soon
I'll start to expect more
appeuni yeoppo, that's so pretty it hurts
get over you young, priorities put first
a melody so slow I sang the first verse
while you left town, I'm stuck in a city curse
and if I can't get out of the anxiety doubt
I'll kick and scream, yeah you've never heard me shout
I'll listen to our song, not know what it's about
deceitful heart, present me is a copout
sorry I don't spend more
time with your mother
you know that I can't afford
to pretend to be lovers
it's not that I'm lonesome
it's just that I get bored
if I don't leave soon
I'll start to expect more
you wrote another letter
sent it to my sister's house
I guess I still remember
watching you in your morning blouse
I wish you weren't so accepting
of how often that I fuck up
I'm reading your handwriting
telling me things are gonna look up
sorry I don't spend more
time with your mother
you know that I can't afford
to pretend to be lovers
it's not that I'm lonesome
it's just that I get bored
if I don't leave soon
I'll start to expect more

why can't I write something beautiful
why can't I write something lovely
why can I only write in a way that makes them think lesser of me
it's becoming something ugly
they all see that I'm begging for me
it's almost funny how little I am worth loving
if I spend two months on a song they'll say that it's taking too long
and if I release it now they'll say the mastering is wrong
everything is base level, you know you've got too much treble
we don't care how lonesome you are if you can't fix your levels
I guess I've gotta get up if I think that life's worth living
and I guess I've gotta get out if I want to be less timid
it's just some days I don't believe that I am even existing
one day I hope you'll hear this song
and you will be more forgiving
if I can't be happy, I guess I'll have to try again
you know I love you maggie, I just want to try again
think back to died laughing, it almost makes me try again
at the risk of this beat dragging can't we just try again
I'm sick of feeling slow
I'm sick of being out in the cold
but I know at this rate
I'll have to find a road to take
because if I don't end the night up dead
I'll base my year on the words that you said
"don't discredit me"
you ran ahead, I was stuck on a harmony
I guess I've gotta get up if I think that life's worth living
and I guess I've gotta get out if I want to be less timid
it's just some days I don't believe that I am even existing
one day I hope you'll hear this song
and you will be more forgiving
if I can't be happy, I guess I'll have to try again
you know I love you maggie, I just want to try again
think back to died laughing, it almost makes me try again
at the risk of this beat dragging can't we just try again
