Gloom

[Intro]

(Wake up and smell the flowers in bloom)

[Verse]

When you worry for me

It’s not maternal guilt

Projected inner self

You vocalize my health

Try pry a bias from me

And not that subtly

You touch my creaky knees

You tape your tongue to your teeth

[Pre-Chorus]

And you swore on the day that he died

That you’d try a little harder next time

To be fair, to quiet your mind

To give grace a little peace sometimes

[Chorus]

With a face like his coffin, you’re covered in gloom

I’m up on my feet again, to repeat after you

You plеad it’s not worth it, smile and nod along

Let's leavе it 'til after, save it for your swansong

Save it for your swansong

[Outro]

Wake up and smell the flowers in bloom

One day we all suffer the same gloom
