lyrics

Boring People by Ben Sures

this is who i am
the body breaking the troubled heart
the can’t get finished, the can’t go on, the can’t start
not the bravest, the smartest or the dumbest either
not satisfied with satisfied, not into bliss and ether

who are you, who am i
is there a difference when we try
is there really a payoff, are there just more things to fix
are we just boring people that do boring things for kicks
who are you, who am i


this is who i was
the blind ambition, the vocal cracks
with no eyes to my peers, deaf to all the obvious facts
not the best moves or the brightest but
when you are young you’re dumb
how else can you make mistakes
I could have listened my mom

who are you, who are we
is there a difference when we flee
is there really a payoff, are there just more things to fix
are we just boring people that do boring things for kicks
who are you, who are we

she doesn’t know
doesn’t care or thats what she gives off
the people that act the hardest, are very very soft
to make the great reveal, to show the truest part
would be to admit to being human and that you have a heart
so its riding in a truck and blaring the horn
its f bombs, hockey and porn
its the top of your lungs singing ‘Riders in the Storm’


who am I now, who was I then
is there a difference in the end
is there really a payoff or just more things to fix
are we just boring people that do boring things for kicks
who am I now, who was I then
