I Would Say 'Consider Your Bridge Burnt​,​' But Our Friendship Was More Like A Pier

from The Worst EP by The Worst Generation

lyrics

I once rode a shitty department store bike

until it literally fell apart

I like to think of it as a metaphor

for the condition of my heart



Rattlin’ and shakin’ the parts fall as they’re breakin’


the rattlin’ and shakin’ reminds me of the ache in my heart



I rode that shitty department store bike

until the derailur fell off

It only had three gears by then,

and two of them were at the top



Rattlin’ and shakin’ and all the parts are breakin’

the rattlin’ and shakin’ a symptom of the ache in my heart



It wasn’t even my bicycle,

I had to borrow it from a friend.

It already had three gears broken,

But he never let me hear the end


I rode that shitty department store bike

Till its components rotted away

but even after I replaced the bike my heart still felt the same



Rattlin’ and shakin’ and all the parts were breakin’

F G C
the rattlin’ and shakin’ A symptom of the ache in my heart
Rattlin’ and
E7 Am
shakin’ and rattlin’ and shakin’ and rattlin’ and shakin’

G C
A symptom of the ache in my heart E7
Rattlin’ and shakin’ and Rattlin’ and

Am G C
shakin’ and Rattlin’ and shakin’- A symptom of the ache in my heart

Acoustic antifolkpunk / porch punk type sounds

I'm just some rando who probably doesn't identify as human in the same way as most do. I'd put my name on these songs but I feel like they are about twice as honest and half as shy as I am able to be as a person so I'm a little uncomfortable with that.
