Regina Lyrics by James Lanning

Another Day Wasted

2016

[Intro: James Lanning]
No I don’t believe you
All jokes aside
I’d die to leave you
Heaven knows I tried, Lord knows I tried
No I don’t believe you
Don’t act surprised
Your words are see through
Smell the bleach and lies
No I’ve never known the color of your eyes
The color of your eyes

[Verse 1: James Lanning]
Everything is everything, yea so they tell me
Yet anything that ain’t myself I been trying to sell me
I said it sitting in a cell I won’t be the same
Then ended up swimming in hell in the freezing rain
I swear I barely even felt when the season changed
I didn’t even know I’d fell til the bleeding came
Whoever said that I might be a little jaded
Ain’t right it’s more complicated shit I might even pray that they wrong
I would spend everything night being bitter hating
A price that’s still inflating shit I might even pay all day long
I been thinking about it all day
And I still don’t have the answer like I called Sway
New lights in the hallway
I see the walls but I’m trying to feel’em always
I keep on, then sit back, and then fall, but intact
Now be strong, don’t relax, or be long, you belong
I’m sick of feeling like a victim when we both did me wrong
Shit hit the ceiling like predicted did you notice me gone?
If nothing matters like “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Then what the fuck I’m mad at? Guess it’s me isn’t that shitty
I kicked but miss the habit so don’t see me and have pity
I sifted splintered glass for my key in this mad city and

[Chorus: James Lanning]
It’s so cold
How you do me like that
Yea I wrote you a letter and I called
But you ain’t write back
Yea I gave you my heart and my flaws
And you threw it right back
Yea you threw it right back
Yea you ain’t write back
Yea I ain’t write back (it’s so cold)

[Verse 2: James Lanning]
Whoever said that I might be a little jaded is right
I’m steady fading man I’m flying afraid I’m a fall
Every regret is just like we just licked the blade of a knife
It’s in my face and I just lie that I ain’t in withdrawal
I’ve been wondering where the days went
I see my shape bend and fade on the pavement
It’s like I’m waiting on arraignment
I should of stayed in Hell Gate in the basement
But who the fuck would want to finish in five minutes?
And who the fuck you gonna give a call with just nine digits?
Realizing this isn’t as simple as finding if
You’re willing to climb bridges or fit in as I didn’t
And I admitted that I ain’t who I wanted to be
I only listen to myself with a gun up to me
I’m selfish, no I don’t give myself nothing for free
Said that when we’re someone else we’ll be something to see

[Chorus: James Lanning]
It’s so cold
How you do me like that
Yea I wrote you a letter and I called
But you ain’t write back
Yea I gave you my heart and my flaws
And you threw it right back
Yea you threw it right back
Yea you ain’t write back
Yea I ain’t write back, (it’s so cold)

[Bridge: James Lanning]
Your tongue is blind
I’ve seen your smile a thousand times
You see me smile come run inside
Don’t hold me down I drown in highs

[Verse 3: James Lanning]
I’m too impatient to sit at this show
Yea I’ve yet to try to hide I considered it though
They say my mind like a violin that’s missing a note
I’m either silent or snide or a mix of them both
I’ve been listening close
All I hear is the floorboards
I could of sworn I was hitting doors with full force
I’m bored with performance goodbye horses
I’m torn to wait for it or should I force this
Walking home from the East Village ready to forfeit
I spent years running from it really wandering towards it
I’m afraid to be medicated I’ve tried to ignore shit
I’d hate to celebrate or even kind of endorse it
Plus we’ve seen what they did to Regina, You lost your stomach for months
Man they’d just pump her with drugs before we’d greet her
Man I’d always break down when I’d leave her
Staring at her looking for a single piece or a fragment of her demeanor
And after we didn’t even speak for over a year
If we’d meet I had this feeling she’d be holding a mirror
I’m near Woodhull every week and become frozen in fear
Don’t know where I want to be but it’s nowhere that here
Sincerely if you come in leave the furniture please
I’m deciding if I’ll even be resigning the lease
At least, I have this window for whomever to see
Man I’m damn near everything I said I never would be

[Chorus: James Lanning]
How you do me like that?
Yea I wrote you a letter and I called
But you ain’t write back
Yea I gave you my heart and my flaws
And you threw it right back
So I ain’t write back
Yea I ain’t write back
Yea I threw it right back
