Golden Age Of My Negative Ways
Less Than Jake · Gnv Fla [2008]
Watch me jump off the deep end.
I won't lie, my mistakes take up every minute of my life.
It's been the down fall of me,
That misery just loves my company.
And this voice is scared to say that i don't really mind.
Cause it's the golden age of my negative ways,
I wouldn't want it any other way today.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm just a co-dependent.
Unemployed and unimportant.
I won't lie, my missteps confuse everyone in my life.
I don't have an answer,
Of why I'm always going backward.
And this voice is scared to say that I don't really mind.
I always walk the line,
Between lows and highest highs.
And I don't mind.
Cause it's the golden age of my negative ways,
I wouldn't want it any other way today.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
