The Idiot Songtext
von Melt

I used to write songs on the airplane
Now I just think about people I love dying
Spend the whole flight crying
I used to be so good at small talk
Introduce me to your parents and they fall in love
Now I′m the guy who won't shut up at dinner
As the candle light goes out
I′m always at a simmer with a fire in my mouth


How'd I get so serious? How'd I get so loud?
Sharper than obsidian, darker than the stone beneath the ground
Alone upon the mountain looking down, down, down
I′m the idiot, burning myself out

I used to sing and dance and cry
And laugh and run around like time would keep on giving
Time to keep on living
But I was dancing on a landslide and I realized I′d shifted to another plane
So, baby, now that I've betrayed the sex
What′s next?
Oh my
Telling grandma she's a sinner as the table rolls their eyes


How′d I get so serious? How'd I get so proud?
Sharper than obsidian, darker than the stone beneath the ground
Alone upon the mountain looking down, down, down
I′m the idiot, burning myself out
