[00:18.801] Cut it out - your self-inflicted pain
[00:22.523] is getting too routine
[00:24.916] the crowds are catching on - to the self-inflicted song
[00:29.423] Well, here we go again - the art of acting weak
[00:34.744] Fall in love to fail - to boost your CD sales
[00:41.378] And that CD sells - yeah, what a hit
[00:44.566] You've got to repeat it
[00:46.427] you gotta' sink to swim
[00:47.761]
[00:48.281] If at first you don't succeed
[00:49.628] you gotta recreate your misery
[00:52.815] 'cause we all know art is hard
[00:55.475] young artists have gotta starve
[00:56.541] Try, and fail, and try again
[00:58.655] the comforts of repetition
[01:01.048] Keep churning out those hits
[01:02.908] 'til it's all the same old shit
[01:05.304]
[01:14.063] Oh, a second verse!
[01:15.924] Well, color me fatigued
[01:18.585] I'm hiding in the leaves
[01:20.710] in the CD jacket sleeves
[01:23.093] tired of entertaining
[01:25.490] some double-dipped meaning
[01:27.612] a soft serve analogy
[01:31.603] This drunken angry slur
[01:32.657] in thirty-one flavors
[01:45.671] You gotta' sink to swim
[01:46.737] immerse yourself in rejection
[01:48.064] regurgitate some sorry tale
[01:50.192] about a boy who sells his love affairs
[01:53.381] You gotta' fake the pain
[01:55.245] you better make it sting
[01:57.624] you're gonna' break a leg
[01:59.220] when you get on stage
[02:01.350] and they scream your name
[02:09.312] "Oh, Cursive is so cool!"
[02:10.910]
[02:11.439] You gotta sink to swim
[02:13.036] impersonate greater persons
[02:15.428] 'cause we all know art is hard
[02:17.555] when we don't know who we are
