Gloomy

What did that mean
Was that you
Was that me
Was that perfect

What do I mean
That /was/ you
That /was/ me
And honestly
Earnestly

Isn't it just gloomy
Look at me out here just looking gloomy
Isn't it awful? Wow, you're awful. Wow, you're lovely
And I'm all gloomy

Take another sip of melancholy
Steep it with some rose
And settle in until the sunny feeling goes
I don't want to taste a sweeter lolly
I don't want a... friend
Cause if I'm happy, then the happiness might end

Keep an airtight lid on ever after
Don't open the jar
On someone who is so endearingly bizarre
Or I'll end up breaking out in laughter
That I don't want to hear
'Cause I prefer the sound of sadness over fear

But if I'm caught in between
I could hate it
I could love it
What I mean is

It's gloomy
How can all this be so fucking gloomy
Isn't this awful? Wow, it's awful. Wow, it's lovely
And I'm all gloomy

I can rattle chains and walk through plaster
But I like my walls
And I don't like the way it feels when one just falls
Something that I've wanted is at last a
Something that I've had
And no one told me that was coming dressed in plaid

Or that I'd want to be seen
I could hate you
I could-
What I mean is

I don't know why I've been waiting
For some sort of sign
But now that it's creating problems
At least the problems are mine

And for once I feel like I'm
Like I'm

Gloomy
Look at me out here just looking gloomy
Isn't it awful? Wow, you're awful. Wow, you're lovely
And I'm all gloomy

Gloomy
How can all this be so fucking gloomy
Isn't this awful? Wow, it's awful. Wow, it's lovely
And I'm all

Gloomy
