Lyrics
"Matador" by Big Timber
Take a night
Nighttime drive
Think about
How this could have gone.
Steering clear
Of what is real.
You should do
Anything but this.
Seems the more,
That you ignore.
Showing stress
Cracks in the facade.
Like a horn
Torn matador
Consequence.
Rip you inside out.
Looking up for the bright
In the darkest corners
Of a lightless sky, oh.
Hoping for
The best before
Facing what is in front of you
Will bring remorse
Knock off course.
The only question worth asking is
If ignorance is truly bliss,
Then why is it that you can't sleep through the night?
Always wide awake,
What you ignore is always there when you close your eyes.
Everything's not alright,
Foolish optimism,
Never saved a life.
Only way out is through,
Process what you're given or
Regret being so naive.
Regret being so naive.
