Yellow by The Teeth (Philadelphia) Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2007

[Spoken]
Can you give me a level on that?
One, two, three, four, five, six

[Verse 1]
They stare and compete and they lie and they cheat
And they want what is eating me
See this world? Well it’s my world, and I never fight flirtations
And I do what I’m told so I’ve cracked and I’ve sold
Everything but my memory
Now it seems that I’m drowning in a sinful mediocrity

[Chorus]
Burn them down, shut me up
I don’t care for anyone but myself
It becomes me, so I
Cut a little cut to see the blood and feel a rush
And know I’m there

[Bridge]
All my life, all my life
Let me buy a taxi ride tonight
All my life
It’s so cold. my paycheck wasn’t right
[Verse 2]
So I sit in this room, yellow walls, yellow chair
And I want what is eating me
See this world? Well it’s your world, ‘cause I never found directions
And I do what I’m told, so I’ve cracked and I’ve sold
Everything but my memory
The one and only one and only one I love is me
