I Call Things Indie

I understood why you cried when your flag was a projection Symbols can go so far until you see them as a distraction You'd always talk about your taste, and how it shaped you nicely Until you had to base yourself on something less focused and relaxing I'd call things indie It makes me laugh You'd call things useless It makes me wanna clean up It all comes back I liked to ask you why you'd burn yourself without someone to watch It's a whole show, a big deal, and there's no audience to feel lost I'd call things indie To make me laugh You'd call things useless It makes me wanna go back I used to feel like that I used to call things useless I wanna go back I wanna go back I used to feel like that I always fought for your side without you even knowing Isn't it crazy how we could swim through the dust like it's nothing? I'd call things anything To try to make you laugh It makes me laugh But you won't do the same I just want you to laugh I guess I'll just accept that I'm the only one who's smiling 'Cause no matter what I do No matter how long I hold the door, you just won't do it I'll paint it with a brush I'll retract my former speeches And I'll focus on myself And I'll distribute my pieces But you'll never laugh
