Tony Lucca - Melancholy Collar lyrics

Took that melancholy collar off my throat Took some time to fix this hole here At the bottom of my boat Still sailing through these stormy seas I glorify my tragedies And add it to the love song I just wrote Bittersweet this self pity of mine I try so hard to shake it Still I'm clinging to it all the time That which doesn't k** me Maybe someday might fulfill me For now it's just the pain I seem to find Everyday I tell myself I'm sane Like a water color painter painting in the rain Everyday she flows right through my veins And my song remains the same Find it hard to look most people in the eye Trying to be that simple, subtle, sentimental kind of guy I make a good impression Save my constant coy confession Self-deprecation rarely tells a lie Everyday I tell myself I'm sane Like a firefly dancer dancing in the rain Everyday she flows right through my veins And my song remains the same Now just once I'd like to see the other side And find out why I feel this need to constantly try to hide Still I've gotta make it home and realize that I'm alone Cook myself a great big plate of pride Everyday I tell myself I'm sane Like a water color painter painting in the rain Everyday she flows right through my veins And my song remains the same Hey now every day Like a watercolor painter in the rain There she goes flowin' through my veins And my song remains the same Said my song remains the same now Yeah and I've got no one to blame Why my songs be soundin' all the same I don't know
