Roger Ebert - Acoustic Lyrics by Graci Phillips

Burning House EP

2017

[Verse 1:]
Roger Ebert’s dead, wax sentimental
Like I was his friend
Tricking myself in, to feeling something
For someone that I’ve never met
[Refrain:]
Well I know that I can be anything but honest
And I know quite simply that I’m no good with a promise
And I think I’m obsessed, with my own profoundness
Are you impressed
That I, I can’t be told, I need control
[Verse 2:]
And It goes the same
Well I react, then counter act, and then attack
But I’m attacking my own brain
It gets cold in here
When the only warmth are my pretеntious words
Floating through the atmosphere, ah-ah-ah
Wеll I am not even half as smart as I would like for you to think
So have another drink, and I’ll sound smarter by the second
And I am not as up to date on world events as I lead on
But I can write a song, I guess that’s good enough for me
Roger Ebert’s dead, why do I care, I don’t but that's what I want you to think
I was not his friend, he reviewed movies, and that is where my knowledge ends
[Refrain:]
And I know that I can be anything but honest
And I know quite simply that I’m no good with a promise
And I think I’m obsessed, with my own profoundness
Are you impressed
That I, I can’t be told, I need control
[Bridge:]
It gets lonely here
When the devil on my shoulder kicks the angel off my ego starts to cheer
And it goes the same, while I’m stepping over other peoples heads
Trying to lift up my own name, ah-ah-ah
Well I call him my ego, but it’s really just me
Being the kind of person that I never want to be
And I struggle with these things because my body’s made of flesh
And I pray to God someday it will be made of something less
And I know I can be anything but honest
Cause I need for you to think that I’m some kind of a goddess
[Outro:]
And I am insecure, this I know for sure
Is there something more for me
