Lose-Lose Days／森カリオペ

Smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion

You picked me right off the ground

Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly

I’m realizing the answer I’ve already found.

Never-ending days wore on

I was aimless, and yet focused

The oxy-est of morons, I know.

Stuck deep composing ghost hits.

Fist to the desk, then next the sky

Well aware of the dangerous heights and falls

Back then, trusted nobody at all.

I was all bark no bite,

Fighting with god.

When it got dark at night,

The hours got long.

Outta nowhere, now at my side

Standing 5 strong

Back then, we saw nothing wrong

Lost.

The dreams we had gathered here to find

Turned into the blind leading the blind

Today it hurt again.

We bandaged bruises.

Who gives a damn if they’re right?

Smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion

I was well on my way

To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I’ve grown up”

To rolling eyes and deciding to stay

Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style,

‘Till you picked me right up off the ground

Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly

I’m realizing the answer I’ve found.

If I got you, I just might stick around.

Got in a fight with myself again

And I lashed out, no surprise

Try as I might, look a saint can’t sin

At least in everyone’s eyes

Broken pieces, MY life

Now a puzzle on a dusty floor

And right on time

When I feel that I can’t get by

I get’cha knock on my door

Ya’ll say “it ain’t all bad”

Talk me down slow

Cheer up and take my hand,

Find somewhere to go

We laugh and chat away

Nothing remains

That little cloud from today

Might ask “why?”

Cause somehow I’m still not satisfied

I swallow this helpless, selfish pride

Still not backing down

Cuz this is our town

No, I ain’t frowning for you!

Smiling through the lose-lose type disillusions

I was well on my way

To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I miss home”

To rolling eyes and deciding to stay

Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style

‘Till you picked me right up off the ground

Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly

Right through this rowdy and crowded downtown.

If I got you, I just might stick around.

Permanent markers run.

White colored pencils don’t leave impressions.

We took this canvas

We painted landscapes

All in our OWN shade of truth

Time and time again I can prove…

That I’m smiling through the lose-lose days of confusion

Sure, I was well on my way

To diving, all alone, thinking “damn, I’ve grown up”

To rolling eyes and deciding to stay

Trusting, choosing allies wasn’t my style,

‘Till you picked me right up off the ground

Then dust me off as we dance on nonchalantly

I’m realizing the answer I’ve found.

I’m gonna smile and make you guys proud.
