Sunny Days

from The Plight of Norman Rockwell by Dawk

/

lyrics

Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?

Verse
It was on a sunny day, the sun rays beam bright
And right from the step off I knew it didn't seem right
It's these nights I fall in love again with six strings
Because your neck lacks brass and I know its a sick thing
You're itching, the booze and drugs will let the truth out
Each night your eyes close I lay awake with new doubts
I'll move out in the morning, gee, thanks for the warning speech
Mine came early, yours gets misconstrued now the more we speak
This floor is sweet serenity, your touch will be the end of me
Bend and breathe, bob and weave, dodge all the shit you fed to me
Let it be, I've come away unscathed though
You rolled through me just like a slow tornado
I won't complain though, your halo led me on a bit
Game over, move on, it's time I find an honest kid

Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?


Verse
I'm not shocked a bit, thought you got off on this shit
Play your game of cat and mouse, play house, and then you call it quits
I'll for it this time but it'll be the last
Because I don't need this I'm sure I won't be the last one
I should have asked them what your trick was
It's sick 'cause you laid it on thick and jumped ship real quick
But it's just so wrong to me how you pretend to care and then you're gone the next week
It's wrong but all I speak is: "It's okay, love"
I'm not alright with feeling small when I wake up
Hey, tough luck, but I don't deserve this
You sucking bits of me out with each of your kisses
This is not what I asked for, saw it coming for the past four
Bearing my burden is whats making your back sore
Stack more of your twisted bits away
And whip 'em out for the next bitch who says "it's okay"
But it's not okay

Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?

Hailing from Minnesota and currently residing in New York, Dawk is no stranger to change.

Humble and quiet, her music takes a big step outside of modern hip hop's braggadocio. ... more
