Shannon Songtext
von Mac Lethal

Yes, yes
First demo since I′ve been home
Very rough in the living room

Yo, uh

I never cry over girls due to guilt
My mama used to put a little bit of bourbon in my milk
Like shh, I got a date, baby, can't you see?
I′m trying to find a new man of the house for you and me

I guess a couple father figures never hurt a thing
But now life is good and I don't mingle with the serpentine
I'm not single as a statement, shit
I just haven′t found a woman that I wanna share my blanket with
My last relationship, I don′t know what to make of it
But I'm happy that we tried, at least we took a chance
I wish that we could be just friends, but we can′t

You see, I stopped dissing her in every blood-soaked remix
I'm not as cutthroat as she is
I guess I stopped pouring out my heart like I just don′t need it
The way you kill a demon is you just don't feed it


It′s weird, she wasn't my wife
But she still feels like the love of my life
But tonight, I'm saying goodbye, good riddance
And I don′t really give a fuck if it′s right

Look, I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is still in you
I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is there

I'm gonna take a deep breath and close my eyes
And by the time I open ′em, I hope I've realized that I′m over you
I'm gonna take a deep breath and close my eyes
And by the time I open ′em, I hope I've realized that I'm over you

Shannon

Dear Shannon, guess what? I feel great
I′m happy now when I can show the world my real face


I don′t have to lock my heart inside a thin wood case
So if you still feel that hurting me is in good taste
Go 'head and diss me, hate me, bash me
Claw me and trash me and scrape me and scratch me
Even though your attitude is ugly as fuck

I still wish you nothing but luck, stay classy
Sadly, I don′t care about your status or your whereabouts
You're just good at tragedy and casually wearing out me
And every resource you got a retort for
Every retort, you don′t talk in circles, you talk in vortexes
Forever, you could talk forever, you could fight forever

Truthfully, if I let you, you would make this breakup take forever
But never, I'm gone

I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is still in you
I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is there

I′m gonna take a deep breath and close my eyes
And by the time I open 'em, I hope I've realized that I′m over you
That I′m over you
I swear to God I'm over you
I′m gonna take a deep breath and close my eyes
By the time I open 'em, I hope I′ve realized that I'm over you

I think I′m over you
Am I over you?
Fuck nah, I ain't over you
I miss you and you can say I misused mystery to get you
Infused sympathy and withdrew a pen from my pocket and just drew
The objects in this room and anything we went through
Sitting in this motel room
Everything is better, it'll just be so swell soon, won′t it?
Are you forever my opponent?
Take it, keep it, own it

I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is still in you
I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do

Even if the hate for me is still in you
I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do
Even if the hate for me is still in you
I threw a hundred dollar bill into the wishing well
Pictured you and whispered to myself that I wish you well
Because I wish you well, I really do

Even if the hate for me is still there inside you, Shannon

I wanna be inside you, Shannon
I wanna put another baby inside you, Shannon
