lyrics

I NAME THIS VERSE ACTION
SO LIKE A FILM I CAN BEGIN

I NAME THIS VERSE NOTHING
SO IT CAN BE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS

IF SOMEONE SLEEPS LET THEM SLEEP TO MY TUNE
IT’S HARD TO BE AS YOU ARE AND TO BE IN THIS ROOM
IF SOMEONE SWAYS LET THEM SWAY TO MY SONG
ITS EASY TO MOVE TO A TUNE WHEN THERE’S NO RIGHT OR WRONG

IF YOU FIND THIS CONTENTIOUS
WE CAN JUST MAKE A CHANGE
IF YOU FIND THIS RELENTLESS
WE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN

YOU WANT SOMETHING CLEAN SOMETHING PURE AND TUNELESS
BUT YOUR HELD TO A RHYTHM IN TIME AND THE WORDS ARE USELESS
IF SOMETHINGS DROPPED OR SOMETHING’S HIT WITH A DRUM STICK
DON’T CALL IT BEAT, DON’T CALL IT TIME, DON’T CALL IT MUSIC

I’M A BLANK SLATE
I’M A BLANK SLATE
I’VE NOTHING TO SAY AND I’M SAYING IT
IF IT’S ALRIGHT
IT’S ALRIGHT
I’VE NOTHING TO SAY AND I’M SAYING IT
IT’S ALRIGHT, IT’S OK
I’VE NOTHING TO SAY AND I’M SAYING IT
I’VE NOTHING TO SAY AND I’M SAYING IT

IF YOU’RE BORED NOW, I’VE SCORED NOW
MAYBE I’VE TAPPED A VEIN
IF YOUR BORED NOW I’VE SCORED NOW
WE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN


I NAME THIS VERSE ENDING
(SO I CAN QUIT)
