about

--------------------------------------------------
I originally wrote this song with the intention of deliberately making no sense or meaning to see if anyone was paying attention. This in effect actually gave the song meaning!

Hypocritically I became the type of one-way conversationalist the song was targeting. This track deserved more than that and was given a complete rewrite with an apt title.

lyrics

today, a retrospect on what we say, count the cracks in young
naiveté. so blaze away little digital display there will be hell
to pay… ‘cause you left us out here to rust, it wasn’t sugar
coated enough! and we’re getting out, this is a one-way
town and i will never stick around and some will say that
this is real, well how should i know when i cannot feel?!
take off that mask, give us the run-around. full speed ahead,
that awkward frown. so obviously you have had some work
done, oh it ain’t hard to tell, it looks to weigh a tonne …it
wasn’t sugar coated enough! and we’re getting out, this is a
one-way town and i will never stick around and some will
say that this is real, well how should i know when i cannot
feel?! some will say “should we sleep together?” and some will
say “did you like the weather?” and some will say that they
“refuse to listen” and some will say, yeah some will say… that
you left us out here to rust, it wasn’t sugar coated enough… it
wasn’t sugar coated enough! and we’re getting out! yeah we’re
getting out! yeah we’re getting out!
