lyrics

v.1
Staring out my window at the sky
Sunset clouds make everything alright
For now, but soon I'll crash down
Won't be long till I'm 6 feet underground

Mixed metaphors running through my head
Highways and lemonade, I think I've been misled
In believing life and love are easy
That box of chocolates i just a tease

c.
Cuz I have bruises on my heart that I made
And my excuses underwhelm and overplay
That's why I refuse to let anything begin
I get burned every time, every time I start again

v.2
The world seems to be in on some big dumb secret
Give me some trust, I can keep it
But I won't overestimate what the world will do
I know I'll never be able to love you

[rep. c]

b.
It's not other people, it's me
I think I can finally see
It's not other people, it's me
That's just how it's gotta be

[rep. c]

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 6 fans who also own “Mixed Metaphors”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource

The Time-Turner EP
by The Mudbloods

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mixed Metaphors”

This is a gorgeously mature EP that pulls at the heartstrings in a way I didn't expect from wrock about Cursed Child. In it, you'll find two tender ballads from fathers to sons, a catchy celebration of a world gone wrong, an upbeat jam about teenage love and two touching love songs from husband to wife. Every single song is deftly crafted and has the exquisite lyrics from the Mudbloods that I just love. yourwizardrockresource
