Lyrics:

I meant to come back to put out bliss
But the style is crumbling covered canned
It was sick and no you don't even know how
It comes shifts then gets ruined by you fucking slobs
(But)

It's classical
Anyways

I can't help it makes me so sick over and over
It sits stiff bound with no heart fine
'Cause this is where the separation starts arising
I can see it coming over your cloud
(And)

It's classical
Anyways
How coll are you?
I remember

I feel sick

Just a bad call it's so funny how you think
I'm so serious but that's not it
The thing is I don't give enough to give a fuck
You're plain boring and you bore me asleep
(But)

It's classical
Anyways
How cool are you?
I remember

I feel sick

(And I)

I feel sickened

Who the fuck are you anyway you fuck it's making
Sick sense seeing how you're sticking out
Hardly and hoping money please arise up off
The fucking knees and hop off the train for a second
and try to find your own fucking heart

It's classical
Anyways
How cool are you?
I remember

I feel sick

I feel sickened



It's an easy song if you get used to the groove,
I guess!
The basspart in the middle is similar to Riff 4,
just with slightly different rhythm (I also made
a bass tab wher you can see that).
Questions, comments etc. welcome. Enjoy!
