lyrics

Dear Mr Bunce and Mr Lee,

I'm sorry to inform you that I'm pulling out, I'm packing in; I will not be of service for a while. And I admit that it's been fun despite the lack of time and sleep. We pulled it off and made ends meet, but I feel it's time to leave because the boss and I do not see eye to eye.

So I'll take a sebattical a month of sunday's long and I will face up to my qualms and I will put them in a song that I will sing to you on my return to tell what I've been doing with my time, and I'll invent so many clever ways to say I'm feeling fine.

I've got some childhood traumas to address and it's not helping that at every turn I'm faced with your concept of wrong and right. I'm not saying that I won't come round to your way of thinking,
but I'm making my escape before I start to steal the mic clips just to spite your mistaking me for any other than an angry, doubting, messed up prima donna.

In this existential crisis of faith it's not me, it's you who won't exist. So forgive me if I deconstruct the syntax of each syllable to unearth the meaning that I might have missed.

So thanks for your understanding and for giving me a chance to have my say, but for now I'll sit in silence.

Yours sincerely,

Emily

Emily Rowan recommends:

Theatre Is Evil
by Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra

If you've ever talked to me, odds are Amanda Palmer has come up in conversation. She inspires me musically and lifestylistically (that's a word, right?). She = ART. Her latest album is pretty awesome. Emily Rowan

Make Your Own Danger
by Alina Simone

The darkness of Beautiful Machine pulled me in late one night, and the rest of the album is just as good. One of those lucky random internet finds for me. It might be for you to. Emily Rowan
