"Scattered" lyrics - THIRD EYE BLIND

THIRD EYE BLIND
"Scattered"

Well the dragonflies float on
And little kids go chasing them till night time comes along
And the prophet of a discontent is gone
And the devil smiles as he pulls the wings off
At the one who wrote and forgot the song
Well it's not my fault what you did
And it's not my fault we're young and stupid
Still I'm stuck in this nightmare joke
No company, my strings are broke
So I go out looking for the right one,
A nice fat girl with a tight one
'Cause I, I, oh I always laugh when I'm hurting

When I was punk I was way more punk than you
What happened to our little tribe?
On a tombstone we'll inscribe
And I, I didn't know my friends would leave me too
And when I sold out, I thought my lies out through and through
'Cause I, I, oh I always laugh when I'm hurting

Is anyone sick of being nervous and annoyed
Don't play with pins to fill the void
And I'm paranoid
To the legacy we've become
See the high rockets, see the shotgun
With the burger bleeding on your plate
But I'm holding out for a different fate

No one's fooling anyone
Everyone struggles inside
And everyone has lied
Fooling anyone
No one is fooling anyone
Yeah, no one is fooling anyone
No one is fooling anyone

Turn the music up louder
Spit out the taste of gunpowder
We'll have a bonfire
Burn it all down, let's take it higher
Gonna find me a woman who makes my soul feel thick
She says love, I won't feel sick
And you say how you doing
We'll say we are fine
Yeah, we are fine
I am fine

'Cause I, I, oh I always laugh when I'm hurting
