about

5 songs later, and love still sucks. However, it sucks a little bit more when you know that there's no chance for it, ever. When you're into someone, but you know they're completely unattainable (mostly because they're straight), you can make up all sorts of weird reasons why they'd suddenly have an epiphany and date you. It's not good for me, and I can't imagine it's good for anyone else, but at least I got a cool song out of it.

Tuning: EG#C#F#Be

lyrics

A mood I can't quite seem to shake
A spell I don't have the heart to break

Call it what it is it's a new rendition of the
Old condition that I'm getting to know

Could I be any more cliché?

Say it how it is it's a battle that's lost
Long before it's fought

Oh, but content dictates form

What is on your mind
As you leave me behind?
What is on your mind
As you leave me behind?

And don't you know that you're so oblivious?
So I take a step back and I don't treat it too seriously
Escapism, dreams, and photo machines
That way to avoid reality
So I carry on dreaming a fantasy
Where you like me

I'll call it occupational hazard
Some things weren't meant to be, apparently

Tell me your story I'm dying to know how you
Came your way to be

Keep it locked away, there's more than I could hope to see

Tell me your stories I'm dying to know if there's
Any hope for me

Is that selfish? Maybe

What is on your mind
As you leave me behind?
What is on your mind?
Don't leave me behind

And can't you tell that you're so oblivious?
So I take a deep breath and I don't treat it too seriously
Escapism, dreams, and photo machines
To keep me from finding reality
I'm in my own little world where I
Carry on dreaming a fantasy
Cuz the way that I see you will never see
Yeah I keep on dreaming my dream

That you like me

What is on your mind
As you leave me behind?
