[Verse]

             
I wish I found

             
 some better s

             
ounds no one’s

           
 ever heard,
              
I wish I had a

             
 better voice 


that sang some

 better words,
             
I wish I found

             
 some chords i

             
n an order tha

           
t is new,
              
I wish I didn'

             
t have to rhym


e every time I

 sang,
             
I was told whe

             
n I get older 

             
all my fears w

           
ould shrink,
              
But now I’m in

             
secure and I c


are what peopl

e think.

[Verse]

            
Sometimes a ce

             
rtain smell wi

ll take me bac

k to when I wa

s young,
            
How come I’m n

             
ever able to i

dentify where 

it’s coming fr

om,
            
I’d make a can

              
dle out of it 


if I ever foun

d it,
            
Try to sell it

              
, never sell o

              
ut of it, I’d 

         
probably only 

sell one,

            
It’d be to my 

              
brother, ‘caus

     
e we have the 

same nose,
            
Same clothes h

              
omegrown a sto

     
ne’s throw fro

m a creek we u

sed to roam,
             
But it would r

              
emind us of wh

    
en nothing rea

lly mattered,
            
Out of student

              
 loans and tre

              
ehouse homes w

  
e all would ta

ke the latter.

 you think.
             
My name's Blur

            
ryface and I c
