Rice Feels

Don't be alarmed
For once I am shaken awake
And I'll take all I can get
And as for you
You thought you were close
But I will beat you there

I thought we were friends
Stay 'til the end
Plead your ignorance
Now or never

You've never been the type to hold your secrets back till now
I may have let your words fly through my head space
You can't bottle it up, if we're working this out, no
Time after time you leave seats empty and I wonder why
Are we burning sunlight, wasting time?
Can I be a better use to someone else

I let my eyes drift onto other people that you know you could not be
So don't come crawling back to me cause you know that I'm over it
And if you're lonely, think about the hell that you put me through
A turnabout, can't live without

And I didn't get that call back
Since I've left my number at your grave
But you're sleeping with the door wide open
I've been staring just to keep me coping
I just wanna have fun
But there's no fun if there's no shunnin' from the family

Don't be alarmed
For once I am shaken awake
And I'll take all I get
And as for you
You thought you were close
But I will beat you there

Now that's all over
Heart beats slower
Pull back all the chains
Release the strain
(La da da da da)

But all you see is all their chicken scratch and grit
Forget you and all your compulsions to leave me out of all the conversations
Only when it's behind my back
Why do you try to make me look like the bad guy?

I let my eyes drift onto other people that you know you could not be
So don't come crawling back to me cause you know that I'm over it
And if you're lonely, think about the hell that you put me through
A turnabout, can't live without

And I didn't get that call back
Since I've left my number at your grave
But you're sleeping with the door wide open
I've been staring just to keep me coping
We just wanna have fun
But there's no fun if there's no shunnin' from the family
