Swan Song - Pinhead Gunpowder

Maybe I’m defensive cuz it’s my favorite song

But you cheapen the passion every time you sing along and laugh

You take the photograph and recreate it piece by piece

You stand the same way and wear the same clothes

But you don’t see the desperation and frustration underneath

The pose the real belief

Cuz you’re a second rate imitation

A watered down simulation of the real thing

And that alone wouldn’t bug me

But it’s you thinking that everything is and has always been that same way

Well it almost sounds like anger

Almost looks like passion

Almost seems like real life worth living

You congratulate yourself for seeming so convincing

Then go home alone and find that something’s still missing

If this is what you wanted all along

I guess we don’t see eye to eye

Cuz I’m looking around trying to figure out what went wrong

So much potential should’ve added up even if we’d given up

I’d understand but we tried so hard and got nothing

But a rented hall with your shitty band

Who are we kidding we killed our own

Dreams before anyone else ever got the chance

And now we don’t even dance, so let’s just go home

Well it almost sounds like anger

Almost looks like passion

Almost seems like real life worth living

We congratulate ourselves for seeming so convincing

Then go home alone and find that something’s still missing
