love your friends and live laughing.

lyrics

She's rolling tubes of paper on record covers
And we're all eager
Sleep deprived
And ulterior motives hanging from the words
Of either New Orleans or Brooklyn's great emcees
If only Dave knew what 'Knights' meant to me
And all and every one of us
The only ones who ever was
Acting our age and living up to unprecedented throws of judgment
But I think we're all laureates
And broken, like our promises
Scoundrels trying to deal with the awards bestowed on us
For soliloquies and sonnets
And everything else that was never meant for the general public
But made The Paper in my room

The shutter of the camera lens
Falls on deaf ears and documents
Moments where we won't ever be the same again
And exhaled breaths of dust in after hours
Rusts the night and dulls the sounds
Of my life spinning in the background
And falling on deaf ears

We are now convened here to discuss
The nonsense that we have rolled up
So pardon me if I am being blunt
With my metaphor and prose
But I've never been one for eloquence
Or elegance of tongue
But I've delivered many a librettos
That have fallen deaf to ears
And I think we're all laureates
And broken, like our promises
Scoundrels trying to deal with the awards bestowed on us
For soliloquies and sonnets
And everything else that was never meant for the general public
But made The Paper in my room

The shutter of the camera lens
Falls on deaf ears and documents
Moments where we won't ever be the same again
And exhaled breaths of dust in after hours
Rusts the night and dulls the sounds
Of my life spinning in the background
And falling on deaf ears

Out now that the public's eye is shut
Our laughs can fall deaf upon their ears
Deaf upon their ears
