KARAT
laundry day Lyrics

I'd rather leave this apartment
I want to get away from this place because everything is a mess and it's making me sick.

Then deal with this nonsense
I don't want to deal with all these problems and issues anymore.

You think that I started
You think that I caused all of this trouble and chaos.

It's making me nauseous
The situation is making me physically sick and uncomfortable.

It's hard to keep jumpin' around by yourself
It's difficult to keep pretending and putting on a show for everyone else when you're alone.

Can't you just see this is how I have felt?
Can't you understand how I've been feeling this whole time?

Can't you just see I have kept to myself?
Can't you see that I've been trying to avoid all this drama and stay out of it?

Can't you just hear how the strings start to swell
Can't you hear the tension and emotions building up in this situation?

Every time I get home to this mess
Every time I come back to this chaotic environment.

Yes
That's how it is.

I just wanna shine
I want to feel special and important.

I just wanna feel like a diamond
I want to feel valuable and precious.

I just wan' feel like a dime
I want to feel attractive and confident.

I can't read between your lines
I can't understand what you're really trying to say or do.

I can't sit on my hands, I'm sorry
I can't just sit back and let things happen, I have to take action.

Don't blink, don't blink
Don't miss anything or let your guard down.

Enjoy the party, enjoy the party
Have a good time and enjoy yourself despite everything else going on.

Shine, shine, shine
Be radiant and brilliant.

Sun, sunshine
Be bright and positive like the sun.

Dressing up to your nine's,
Dressing up really nicely and looking your best.

Ain't no time to front (Ain't no time to front, front)
This is not the time to be fake or insincere.

Eyes welling up,
Starting to cry.

You don't tell me what you want
You're not being honest or clear about what you really want.

It's mutual, it just ain't fruitful,
Both of us feel the same way, but it's not getting us anywhere.

It's on the fritz
It's not working properly and may be about to break.

I got caught up in the glitz,
I got distracted by all the glitter and glamour.

To passive to see what this is
I was too passive and didn't realize what was really happening.

How could I miss what this is?
How could I not see what was going on all along?

Teary eyes as it hits
Getting emotional as I finally understand what's going on.

Smokey eyes for the pics
Trying to look cool and collected for photos.

Throw it out to the kids
Give it to the young and innocent to deal with.

They cannot see what this is
They don't understand what's really going on.

They cannot see what this did
They can't see the harm and damage that's been caused.

Blackberry broke, it fell on the steps
Something valuable and important broke and is now damaged.

But I'm still caught up in the glitch, uh
But I'm still trapped in this problematic situation.

Oh, who can I run to? (Who can I run to?)
Who can I turn to for help or support?

To share this empty space, tell me
To share this lonely and unfulfilling place with me.

Who can I run to? (I just wanna shine)
Who can help me achieve my goals and be my best self?

To share this empty space (I just wan' feel like a diamond)
To be here with me and help me feel valuable and precious.

Tell me (I just wan' feel like a dime)
Please let me know how I can feel attractive and confident.

Who can I run to? (I can't read between you're lines)
Who can help me understand what's really going on and what people really mean?

(Don't blink, Don't blink) Who can I run to? (Enjoy the party, enjoy the party)
Even when things are moving fast and changing rapidly, who can help me find joy and happiness?

(Shine, shine, Shine) To share this empty space, tell me (Sun, sunshine)
Who can help me be brilliant and radiant even in difficult times?
