Artistic License Lyrics
I have, the sweetest of sights, you've got to know it,
It's turned me sideways,
I had, some fire in my eyes once you got me going,
It's seaping south and out my mouth,
Rest easy tonight, cuz I'm starting to write it down,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
Is all for the principle,
Oh, oh...
I had, the flattest of sights, that's all I'm showing,
I took those walls off,
I am, from left to the right, ripped, round, and roaring,
From safe and sound to proud and loud,
Rest easy tonight, cuz I'm starting to write it down,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
Is all for the principle,
Oh, oh...
Rest easy tonight, yeah, cuz I'm starting to, I'm starting to,
Rest easy tonight, cuz I'm starting to write it down,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
I'll try not to scream if you're trying to sleep,
It's all based on a principle,
Yeah, based on a principle,
It's turned me sideways,
I had, some fire in my eyes once you got me going,
It's seaping south and out my mouth,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
Is all for the principle,
I took those walls off,
I am, from left to the right, ripped, round, and roaring,
From safe and sound to proud and loud,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
Is all for the principle,
Rest easy tonight, cuz I'm starting to write it down,
Somehow saying the things that your ears won't believe,
I'll try not to scream if you're trying to sleep,
It's all based on a principle,

This has to be my fav. song on the new album together with Cut! Print it. I love the last chorus.
Honestly, it's my least favorite on the new cd. Neither the music nor the lyrics say anything special to me; they don't make me feel anything the way that almost ALL of tsl's other songs do. anyone else feel this way?
Like marco, this is my favorite song on the cd.. to me, it has a lot of meaning and unlike watchme, I feel A LOT when I listen to this song :)
"It's seaping south and out my mouth" Sound exactly like the "were so close" from photography on the album....
this song is alright. kenny sounds really super cute in this song. Especially his' OOoOh'ing, and when he says 'roaring'. Gosh i love mister Vasoli.
the songs kind of obviously about songwriting. so well put, "I'll try not to scream if you're trying to sleep"
"I am, from left to the right, ripped, round, and roaring, From safe and sound to proud and loud," OH EM EF GEEE!
its kinda ironic in a way like when he says "i'll try not to scream if your trying to sleep" and hes almost screaming, i think ken has a problem with screaming, his nature tells him to scream so sometimes in songs he should stop himself.
i dont know how the title has much to do with the song though
Love this song. I especially love the way that he sings "I am from left to the right, ripped round and ROARRRRRINGGGGGGGGG." Such emotion.
