Sunny Side Up

How is it 
That I find the charm
in pure devastion
Happiness in all loss
No fear in everything
that is dangerous
No time for lust
it'll just die
then live again
I rather not repeat
a broken cycle

The dishes clink together
they might as well crash to the floor
You whisper into my ear
You might as well be screaming
My nerves are fried 
Sunny side up

I smile at the rain
and hide from the sun
anything that brings others pleasure
is simply not fun
I'm not careless
trust me in that
I just don't have the time
to behave like the others

The dishes clink together
they might as well crash to the floor
You whisper into my ear
You might as well be screaming
My nerves are fried 
Sunny side up

Dishes clink before they break
The calm before the storm
Stardom comes ahead of backlash
A masterpiece previous to the mistake

I love my disdain
I hate my aphrodisia
a common misconception 
seeing is believing
giving isn't receiving
Tell what to do
how to act
I love my life
at least while it's still intact

The dishes clink together
they might as well crash to the floor
You whisper into my ear
You might as well be screaming
My nerves are fried 
Sunny side up

....The dishes never break....
....You never scream....
My nerves were never fried
but they will always be sunny side up
