MIA Lyrics by Ant Saunders

bettertrash

2018

[Verse 1]
Don’t think I can stay the night
My skin pale my stomach tight
An abominable sight
Nothing's ever going right
Pessimistic I’m a judge
My own self I hold a grudge
Think my mind just took a plunge
Submerged just like a sponge

[Pre-Chorus]
Now it’s covered with foam
Party was bumpin’ but damn I just wanna go home
Regrets and mistakes, yeah they got me all out of control
Surrounded by women I don’t even wanna get to know

[Chorus]
Just wanna go home
Just wanna be alone
Such an introvert
Mind don’t wanna work
I’ve been here for hours
Haven’t been out of my worst
Yeah
(I show up to the place
But I’m so out of place
They show up to the base
But I’m still M.I.A
I show up to the place
But I’m so out of place
They show up to the base
But I’m still M.I.A.)

[Verse 2]
I put out my fingers drew faces with pen
Gave them names like Billy and Bobby and Ben
Not sure if I even need ten
As long as they stay with me they'll be my friends
But the middle one always gotta act out
He’s cool but sometimes he’ll just snap out
When he does his thing I can never back out, man
Why am I so whacked out (huh)
I mean who else am I gonna talk to
I got a blackboard and a bit of chalk too
Pacing back and forth like I'm in a monsoon
Voices orbiting my forehead like I'm in a cartoon
I make myself disappear like a magician
So little sanity I deserve recognition
Gave the world the highest position
Let myself be defeated by my inhibitions

[Outro]
I’d care more if I had the energy
In the wild where I’ll forever be
I’ll just get lost in the insanity
M. I. A. For all eternity
(My knob is broke
Can’t turn up no more
Compressed all my words
Forever left unheard
My knob is broke
Can’t turn up no more
Compressed all my words
Forever left unheard)
