Arsenic Mayhem - Appreciation

I'm sick of everybody complaining around me
We people love to sing and dance on the down beat
Whenever there's a problem that's small we pretend
We cry and whine and moan all day
This song has undertones about appreciation
So it will never be on the radio station
Cause no one likes a song with no sad things to say
Gotta pretend you got a horrible story and complain
But I don't wanna be that way
Take a look at the ones who go through real despair
They don't need to write a song or get it out there
Cause they don't care and frankly nor do we
To have it displayed on the shows on TV
Why is everyone so horrible
We live in the dark like it's adorable
You deny that you know that all you want in this world
Is for everyone to think you're lovable
So you search for things to say
And most of it's fake
I'm guilty of this myself
All I wanted was a taste of fame and wealth
So I sought out something to whine about
Though my pain is but a dysfunctional spout
I love my family and well I love my life
Don't get me wrong, I'm doing fine
But it's hard to sing of the things we find
That aren't bad in the slightest
Take a second to look in the sky
See how our ancestors and legends appear in the night
The constellation that paints the darkest picture
Has the stars that shine the brightest
Why is everyone so horrible
We live in the dark like it's adorable
You deny that you know that all you want in this world
Is for everyone to think you're lovable
Why is everyone so horrible
We live in the dark like it's adorable
You deny that you know that all you want in this world
Is for everyone to think you're lovable
So you search for things to say
But I don't wanna be that way
There's so much, so much
That we say we need
There's so much, so infinitely much
We've got that we can't even see
I have no right to complain and neither do you
No need to search for pity in the things you do
I have no right to complain and neither do you
No need to search for pity in the things you do
I'm sick of everybody complaining around me
We people love to sing and dance on the down beat
I'm sick of everybody complaining around me
We people love to sing and dance on the down beat
