Cottonmouth
Seabird Lyrics

The days you said you were smarter, knew you were harder
In the past, you claimed to be intellectually superior and more resilient than us

They're over
Those days are gone now

And the days you told us to grow up, told us to shut up
You used to scold us and ask us to behave like adults, or just be quiet

But I promise the words that you said, stuck in our heads
However, your words lingered in our minds

They'll come back to haunt you, to taunt you
Your words will return to torment and ridicule you

Keep you from sleeping, keep you from eating
Your own words will prevent you from sleeping or eating peacefully

And at times you made us look stupid, made us feel useless
Occasionally, you made us feel unintelligent and purposeless

They're over
Those unpleasant experiences are now past

And the days you told us to sit out, told us to get out
You would tell us to either sit down and not participate or just leave altogether

Yeahh I promise
Yes, I am assuring you that this will occur

For this down on my life I promise
I pledge this on my very existence

We hate to see you go
It pains us to see you depart

But now its time to let you know
However, we must inform you

That shouting never wins, and losing you never felt so good
Yelling and raising your voice will never lead to success, and losing you is actually liberating

And so it should, yeah we knew it would
That is how it should be, and we always anticipated it

The stars in the sky are about to cry
The celestial objects are close to weeping

And the days you told us to sit out, told us to get out
Those times when you suggested that we remain idle or depart

Oh baby
An expression of satisfaction and joy

The stars in the sky are about to make us liars
We might have been wrong in our predictions, as the stars could have a different reaction

Yeahh
An exclamation of joy or agreement
