THESE SIDES AFFECT Lyrics by Squalloscope

Desert (EP)

2013

[Verse 1]
I heard you’re not listening to me when I talk
And you know everything better than I ever could
But I am here now with my suitcase and very little patience for blame
And when I leave one of these days, neither of us should still be the same
I take everything with a side of you and all the side effects of staying, too
I’ll spend these days as the reigning queen of all the ladies in your magazines
I want to cover them up, you say, and you laugh
I need to cover your thoughts with things I’m thinking of, dear

[Chorus]
"Girls will be girls," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse not to talk about this world
"And boys will be boys," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse to raise idiots
And I'm not just making a fuss
It's always about us

[Verse 2]
We can make all the mistakes we want
But don’t show me your palms to say you got no bad intentions
Just because we both were raised thinking
We must not fail and there’s only one right answer
There’s no injury that heals as slow
As those little holes that words drill into souls

[Bridge]
So pack your bags, dear
You need to get out of here
Pack your bags, dear
I need you to get out here

[Chorus]
"Girls will be girls," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse not to talk about this world
"And boys will be boys," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse to raise idiots
"Girls will be girls," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse not to talk about this world
"And boys will be boys," you say
That’s just a lazy excuse to raise idiots
And I'm not just making a fuss
It's always about us
And I'm not just making a fuss
It's always about us
