about
A song I wrote in hopes of reminding myself that self-forgiveness and healing is a good thing.
lyrics
VERSE 1
I've been in between a rock and a hard place
I've been biting my tongue to save some face
I should be over this, but I'm not quite there yet
It'll take time and I'll be fine moving ahead
Not sure where I'm going, only time will tell us
The fear of never knowing finally bit the dust-/
I'd rather be my own best friend than my worst enemy
I'm one day closer to being who I wanna be
La de da de da de da deee
Mmmmmm
I know I know I know
who I'd rather be
VERSE 2
There are nights when I lay awake and restless
Wondering if letting go was for the best
It's scary then, it's scary now, as I move on
Rain ends the drought, the sun comes out, It won't be long
CHORUS
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Your own best friend?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
your own worst enemy?
Oh uwoh, oh uwoh oh
oh uwoh, uwoh oh
Oh uwoh, oh uwoh oh
oh uwoh, uwoh oh
Could we pause it for a sec
and put it into retrospect,
Everything that happened was for the best
I had my good intent,
but the dreams turned into dreamt
Where I was content
turned into resent
There was a point where I was convinced that suffering made it better
I've never been more wrong
When I hit rock bottom, it's difficult to remember
Why I had to write this song
CHORUS
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Your own best friend?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Or your own worst enemy?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Your own best friend?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Oh would you rather be?
Or your own worst enemy?
Oh uwoh, oh uwoh oh,
oh uwoh, oh uwoh oh,
I'd rather be my own best friend than my worst enemy
I'm one day closer to being who I wanna be

Circus is a music machine who's put out tons of amazing tracks since 715, but this is still my favourite of his albums by far. I still don't know how he got Len's English to sound so emotional and powerful on Poltergeist, but on that and every track Circus showcases why he is the king of English vocalsynth tuning wondersmith_39
