Rue the Day Songtext
von Carly Cosgrove

We treated the fishbowl like the pond
I smacked against the glass & looked beyond
In a landlocked state I thought I saw the sea.

Those days I got away with leap then look
Now when I open my mouth I catch a foot
But maybe a foot is actually good for me

I thought I was God
I thought I was cured
That nothing could touch me
That I had nothing left to learn

I thought I was good
Secure and assured

I thought I was invincible
And I could put the stick in the spokes
So I put the stick in the spokes
Now everything hurts

I′m treating my new bowl like a lake
By my mistake I stayed inside the state
And I thought I'd make a Groundhog Day mistake


ButI psyched myself for the trebuchet
That′ll throw me over the bowl someday
And I wonder if still have what it takes

I thought I was God
I thought I was cured
That nothing could touch me
That I had nothing left to learn
I thought I was good
Secure and assured

I was rippin cliffs notes
And Preaching like I wrote the book
In a cursory glance there's a lot to overlook
I was rushin' through it
And tellin′ my friends to stop
Untroubled by the trouble that I never knew I caused.
Cuz I tried to do what you can′t do right
Decoding the layers of a thing called life.
But which is the fairest of them all?
The Faberge egg or the matryoshka doll!

The Faberge egg or the matryoshka doll!


I thought I was invincible
And i could put the stick in the spokes
So I put the stick in the spokes
Now everything hurts

I was rippin cliffs notes
And Preaching like I wrote the book
