Desensitized Monotony by Melodie Yvonne

All these things they pull me down
All these things don’t make a sound
Make me feel I’m gonna drown

But that’s all so fucking boring

Just a bunch of putrid stories
To relive our foolish glories
‘Til they’re just another pop song
Makin’ me feel what I feel’s wrong
‘Til I fade away to nothing
Just another fueled up drug train

And it’s boring

A never ending cry of “Me too”
‘Til no one can fucking hear you
So you just keep screamin’ louder
But you just keep losing power
‘Cause… monotony
As wild as you can be
Means fucking nothing anymore
‘Cause you’re a bore
And I’m no better
My stormy weather
Is fucking boring
And pulls me down.

All these things they pull me down
All these things don’t make a sound
Make me feel I’m gonna drown

But it’s so fucking boring
