Distinguished Listener Lyrics

I guess I've always been a distinguished listener

My fate is helping, then being overlooked

I've played the role of someone who tries to solve it all

This winter was one hell of a storybook

I carried someone else's weight and made it mine

They couldn't tolerate to face the ugly truth

They opened up to me and let me in their darkest thoughts

Then disappeared like nothing ever really was true

Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight

I need a pen and paper to go with that too

I'll write their names then read them all out loud

I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through"

I'm taught to value every single moment in my life

The people that I meet, the places that I live

They'll never make it out of my hard drive

With that, I'll always keep them all alive

I guess I've always been an open book

so that the people I've been dealing with take what they took

A book with lots of pages and meaningful words

But its cover seems to get all the attention it deserves

You take me out for coffee and you spill it slow

You start to talk and talk and talk until you overflow

I'm right there saying yes on everything that you said

But I'd rather stay inside and wash the dishes instead

Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight

I need a pen and paper to go with that too

I'll write their names then read them all out loud

I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through"

I'm taught to value every single moment in my life

The people that I meet, the places that I live

They'll never make it out of my hard drive

With that, I'll always keep them all alive

And every person loves to mock

but don't expect to get mocked too

whine about my ironic posture

Seize the chance to point out my nostril

And I would dare you to just try for one more time

To say what's on your mind

To drop your toxic pride

It's on you to decide

If there's at least a little dignity left

You're 47 minutes ahead

I'm 18 and there's no time to spend

this world war will soon come to an end

Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight

I need a pen and paper to go with that too

I'll write their names then read them all out loud

I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through"

I'm taught to value every single moment in my life

The people that I meet, the places that I live

They'll never make it out of my hard drive

With that, I'll always keep them all alive
