Distinguished Listener

I guess I've always been a distinguished listener My fate is helping, then being overlooked I've played the role of someone who tries to solve it all This winter was one hell of a storybook I carried someone else's weight and made it mine They couldn't tolerate to face the ugly truth They opened up to me and let me in their darkest thoughts Then disappeared like nothing ever really was true Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight I need a pen and paper to go with that too I'll write their names then read them all out loud I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through" I'm taught to value every single moment in my life The people that I meet, the places that I live They'll never make it out of my hard drive With that, I'll always keep them all alive I guess I've always been an open book So that the people I've been dealing with take what they took A book with lots of pages and meaningful words But its cover seems to get all the attention it deserves You take me out for coffee and you spill it slow You start to talk and talk and talk until you overflow I'm right there saying yes on everything that you said But I'd rather stay inside and wash the dishes instead Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight I need a pen and paper to go with that too I'll write their names then read them all out loud I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through" I'm taught to value every single moment in my life The people that I meet, the places that I live They'll never make it out of my hard drive With that, I'll always keep them all alive And every person loves to mock But don't expect to get mocked too Whine about my ironic posture Seize the chance to point out my nostril And I would dare you to just try for one more time To say what's on your mind To drop your toxic pride It's on you to decide If there's at least a little dignity left You're 47 minutes ahead I'm 18 and there's no time to spend This world war will soon come to an end Cut the lights and bring me the flashlight I need a pen and paper to go with that too I'll write their names then read them all out loud I'll name the list "the people whose bullshit I see through" I'm taught to value every single moment in my life The people that I meet, the places that I live They'll never make it out of my hard drive With that, I'll always keep them all alive Distinguished Listener Distinguished Listener Distinguished Listener (Distinguished) (See-through!)
