Corduroy Songtext
von BoyWithUke

Indifferent to the people I detest
But it harms me in a way that even I cannot detect
In my own flesh and blood (in my own flesh and blood)
I think I′ve had enough (I think I've had enough, I′ve had enough)

I welcome death with open arms like an old friend I haven't seen
Since I was young, when young was old
When Daddy did terrible things
Maybe I'd feel better then, when I leave you like this
(Don′t let me leave, don′t let me leave, don't let me leave it all behind)

While some days are not that bad
And even pleasant one might say
I can′t control the thoughts I have
I can't control the present wave of emotion
Anxiously hoping for something or someone
For anything at all


I can′t imagine a life without familiarity
I can't imagine what it′s like to live with certainty
I like to rewatch movies, so I know the end of every scene
I know the end of everything
I do, because I won't ever leave my room
It's safer here, and safety′s all I want and all I need
Buried my issues here, deep within the walls and in my dreams
In my own atmosphere is where I′ll die, so, let me die in peace
I'm on my final breath, my final steps, I′ve never felt so free

But my head's spinning
I can′t help but think of who I'm abandoning
And suddenly my chest cries out in pure panic
It cannot end like this
I say with strength I haven′t felt before
And that's when it finally hits

With my hands sweating
Climb down from the ledge of what's all so threatening
But it don′t cause me fear no more
My fingers touch the fabric of my jacket made of corduroy
Reminding me of Brentwood and the things that I would die to see again

Die to see again (′gain)
Die to see again
Die to see again

My jacket made of corduroy
Know what I stand to lose, my life, my soul
My time my home, my thoughts, my sweet and sour youth
I can't let go of who I was, but I can cut myself in two
And I can′t pick up all the pieces and let everybody choose


Yeah, it's all in your mind, boy, it′s all in your head
Leave it all behind you can finish when you're dead
I′ll be waiting for you here when this madness finally ends
Remember who you are, don't forget it

When your head's spinning
Stuck in a room with the television on
While you′re tripping on ′shrooms
You got your thoughts spilling
But none of it's true, it′s a facade
Your heart can tear apart the parts that make it you

Hello again, it's nice to see you′re back
Did you like the things you saw?
And do you finally understand why I wear corduroy?
I really like corduroy
Hello, my friend, anything you'd like to ask?
Any unresolved pollutions in your head that make you gag?
I′m just one call away
So please don't be afraid to call me back
