lyrics

Shabby
{by Ryan Voss}

Stop lookin’ at me like I escaped from the zoo,
I could make the same case about you
Quit glarin’ at me like I surfaced through some ooze,
Let's see you walk a mile in my shoes

You’re giving me the finger as a chorus of banshees linger
Spreading vicious, infantile rumors
Blessed are the meek, you’re just the story of the week,
Another average insecure baby-boomer

I’m moving in the right direction
I carry the dirt of the ages on my back
Failure of your society,
Or compensation for all you lack?

So sorry that you’re underwhelmed
It’s not such a crushing blow
Another one here in a sea of faces
That you’ll never, never really know

You’re getting quite pissy, I’m just here, existing
And since when did you own the sidewalk?
This scene endures your meddling, but I won’t be back-peddling
Go find another ear to corrupt with your talk

You’ve made some nice gestures & words best left censored
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Quite the big-bang,
Momentum like a boomerang
Coming back to everything in yourself that you doubt

I’ll rise with the right stimulation
I may not have the right credentials on my person
Blame it on my mental illness
A mind that thinks sideways for some reason

So sorry you’re disappointed
Actually I couldn’t care less
You give migraines to aspirin
Now watch me finish this

Behold the big boom
In this tiny little room
Makin' all the near-do-wells quiver
Today you succeed
Some future headline might read:
'All that swagger and they can't deliver!'

I'm hittin' prime-time,
Even if my shoes don't shine
I'm coming up steadily
I'm shabby in my garment
But gold in my content
And I think this rock is ready

Yeah, I think this rock is ready
I think this rock is ready
I think this rock is ready…
