lyrics

How many times must I get over myself
Tally the lines and the space runs out
Like the color from my face
Every time I open my mouth
And what will it take for my blood to flow without
Boiling or freezing or draining out
‘Til I’m pale and a fail
And pathetic like waterless clouds

I’m aware and I know
That cold fronts come and go
And you can’t feel the sun
If you’ve never felt snow
But my hands have grown cold,
And I’m thinking I should let go

I’m over being tricked into thinking
Someone’s listening, watching somewhere close
Under my nose, as it typically goes, or went,
But my time has been spent
So I’m over buying, over lying
To myself that if the shoe fits, I can run
I’m clearly done, over & out

Not once but twice did I get involved with
The shadiest business, I could have sworn
That he started it up,
All it’s done is left me worn
And not once but twice did he return to square one
From him entirely this was born
In his head, now it’s dead
With the birth certificate torn

Yes, I know, I’m aware
That maybe nothing’s there
And for the longest time,
Oh, not once did I care
But he led me here,
Does he know that it’s unfair?

I’m over being tricked into thinking
Someone’s listening, watching somewhere close
Under my nose, as it typically goes, or went,
But my time has been spent
So I’m over buying, over lying
To myself that if the shoe fits, I can run
I’m clearly done, over & out

I feel like an idiot, a blithering idiot
Why am I so embarrassed when I know I’m not the idiot?
What was I supposed to think, what was I supposed to think?
This would be so much easier if he had a brain to think
But it’s whatever, stay clever like you clearly are
Hopefully someone comes along who’s as oblivious as you are

I’m over being tricked into thinking
Someone’s listening, watching somewhere close
Under my nose, as it typically goes, or went,
But my time has been spent
So I’m over buying, over lying
To myself that if the shoe fits, I can run
I’m clearly done, over & out
I’m done, over & out

EJ Carey Boston, Massachusetts

If you took the angst ridden anthems of the 2000s and combined them with the truth bearing storytelling of country music, you’d find yourself listening to EJ Carey. EJ’s blend of pop rock packs an emotional punch by reintroducing the sounds of her teen years to the age of Spotify under the guise of confessional plot-driven songwriting.
EJ's new EP “Outlier” is available everywhere now. ... more
