Passive fucking aggression

about

I internalise heaps of shit, which is a common theme throughout my songs. this is a reflection of a few times when instead of talking about how I feel, I just become a turd :)

lyrics

I was trying to find piece of mind when I left
unsuccessful in my previous attempts
I tried walking in others footsteps
and living in shadows
but now I'm covering myself
and thats all that matters
I was never comfortable taking credit for all of the actions
that put us in the position that we were in
and after every time I bit my tongue
its all sore and bloody and my patience has worn thin

Now don't try to convince me that silence is golden
because silence is just the calm before I fucking scream at you

And there is nothing gold in that except for maybe my comeback
but you never picked up on the subtle things
and if everything you had was gone just like that
I hope you remember all of the subtle things

I am done with my passive aggression
it got me nowhere faster than anywhere else
I guess I should be thankful for the push over the edge
and the opportunity to express myself

coz without the opportunity we'd be
stuck in the same place that we were in
Now I don't have to bite my tongue
Its no longer bloody
all of the wounds have healed but the scars are a given

Now don't try to convince me that silence is golden
because silence is just the calm before I fucking scream at you

And there is nothing gold in that except for maybe my comeback
but you never picked up on the subtle things
and if everything you had was gone just like that
I hope you remember all of the subtle things

Its not all your fault I'm sorry for stringing you along
I was just trying to make things work just another thing I do wrong

Its not all your fault I'm sorry for stringing you along
I was just trying to make things work just another thing that I do wrong

now I'm sure we'll both find our piece of fucking mind
doing all the shit we do

And there is nothing gold in that except for maybe my comeback
but you never picked up on the subtle things
and if everything you had was gone just like that
I hope you remember all of the subtle things

Ben the Red Yass, Australia

a couple of years ago I watched Sister Act 2 and decided to give singing a go and I didn't sound too shit, so here I am today.

I really love the idea of doing shit yourself so, I'm going to do my best to do it all without outsourcing. ... more
