lyrics

if I control minds the way you believe
i wouldn't have you believing such things
a full mystery why
you've determined that i
am behind the curtain pulling strings
i know you're not well
so i gave you a pass
but don't think of trying me again
can't beat your illness with logic or reason
so i sleep with a bat by the bed
cause if there is trouble i'll find it
right after it has found me
but i think it's time
to clear the air
cause it's getting harder to breathe
if i'm the thin ice
of which you are skating
then why not go back to the shore
if i am the thunder
the black clouds-a-rolling
then why are you chasing the storm?
i know i can take things too personally
but i can't change the way you obsess
i hope you get help
or struck by a bus
you know something real quick and painless
cause if there is trouble you'll find it
just like the way you found me
but i think it's fine
that justice is blind
cause i don't need more eyes watching me

you can walk away now
or refuse to back down
but i'll do what i need to stay safe
yeah i'll do what i need
i'll do what i need
i'll do what i need to stay safe

Nothing Blues
by typesetter

The one and only Typesetter from Chicago, IL. Their sophomore record is full of artful yet catchy gems. Also, most of this band is involved in someway in my "Shadow Queens" releases. Bradley Palermo
