Denial Correlation - Emotion & Substance Lyrics

Music is inspiration, music can grasp your heart
Each musical creation is its own unique work of art
How does some brief notation make such a gorgeous tune?
Beautiful orchestration making people swoon

But every recent hit is a piece of shit lacking in emotion and substance
And every decent bit is just counterfeit, copying from someone before
What happened to the olden days? The muses have all been sold in chains
Can we please admit even Jesus quit when he couldn't reason with us anymore
Anymore

I've spent my whole life writing songs just to make you smile
But is it worth it fightin to the top of this garbage pile?
Where's all the rage and passion? None of this crap will last
I miss the good old-fashioned music from the past

'Cause every recent hit is a piece of shit lacking in emotion and substance
And every decent bit is just counterfeit, copying from someone before
What happened to the olden days? The muses have all been sold in chains
Can we please admit even Jesus quit when he couldn't reason with us anymore
Anymore

Cause every writer knows when to put down the pen
(What are you supposed to do? Yeah what are you supposed to do?)
But this time I'm never picking it up again
(Maybe I should change my course)

Every recent hit is a piece of shit lacking in emotion and substance
And every decent bit is just counterfeit, copying from someone before
What happened to the olden days? The muses have all been sold in chains
Can we please admit even Jesus quit when he couldn't reason with us anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore

(Music is inspiration, music can grasp your heart
Each musical creation is its own unique work of art)

I gotta know is this reality? Do I really have immortality?
Do I really believe the Prophet's Curse? I'm feeling sickly but it's more than a cough, it's worse
Is something making me bleed internally? I feel it deep in my bones, it's burning me
From now until eternity
Anymore
