Negative Lyrics by Charlie Hayley

Apathy

2014

[Verse 1: Charlie Hayley]
Something sinister to it
Pendulum swinging i'm a degenerate moving
Through the city with purpose
I'm trying to write these verses
To get rid of these curses
That seem to be
Haunting me, so seemingly
I'm haunting all these city streets
Because my face is gaunt and i taunt
Everybody who wears the cleats
That grind me down
Day after day, all you see is a frown
Lie to me, please, lie, I beg on my knees
Cause the truth hurts too much and my spirits deceased
As my friends chief the dutch while i stare at my knees
Because the only spark im tryna find is one of hope
But i'd be better off looking for a muslim pope
Sometimes, i feel the need to define
Every injustice as a crime and every actor as a mime
Even if their words hold value to them
That's why i sigh and close my eyes before I turn and boot 'em
Out of my miserable life to something thats much better
Cause all i bring is cold depression and i need a damn sweater
[Hook: Earl Sweatshirt]
[Verse 2: Charlie Hayley]
Im a noncooperative narcissist. a firefighting arsonist
I'll burn the house down and let the fire rage
Only to come back with a shotgun thats 12-gauge
Looking for the perpetrator of this horrible crime
Only to realize that the fault is solely mine
So i level the shotty and look at myself in the mirror
Then wake up from this nightmare with a face full of terror
Cause i dont own a shotty and I'd never hurt somebody
So why's the girl of my dreams coming after me in them
Wielding a switchblade laced with poisonous venom
And eyes thats blacker than the soul of a mass murderer
Yet pretty as rafaeli, you must have heard of her
But bar the intervention of someone who truly cares
Ill lose my marbles, go nuts, and confirm my deepest fears
That im just like my daddy, god bless his soul
Thats if he does have one, i think its just coal
Black as the skin of kevin garnett, my kin is my target
Because while im shopping with him
I can't help but notice that he's as fake as plastic linen
Polyester, yes, i act the court jester
Just to fool the few that think that these old wounds don't fester
Just because im cracking jokes
But cracking me ain't as easy as is cracking yolks
Geuss thats why my demeanors always icy
Cause if let my guard down once the shit'll come back to bite me
Sometimes i wish i could fight me
And beat some sense into this drama queen, I hope she knights me
Oh, to be royal, not a worry in the world
Never have to toil, surrounded by pretty girls
But even if i was royal i'd prolly still be
Depressed as a purposeless honeyless bee
Because, now you know, that's my problem you see
I always feel the downside of things, scald my throat with this tea
