Lyrics Breakthrough - Chad Neidt feat. Jon Schwartz

Well it seems, bein' condescending is the theme of the day
Or am I hyper-sensitive to the words that they say?
Everybody's surprised when they see I'm feelin crappy
"But, Chad, you're never sad—you're always happy!"
Because I'm crackin' jokes every chance I get,
You think I've only got one permanent mindset?
You're a human too, so you should know
Everybody's got different sides to show
Then I come home...
And I start singin' bar by bar
And begin to harmonize with my guitar
And all my rage and all my hate
Slowly but surely starts to dissipate
I don't need an audience or a stage
To commit my own harmless private rampage
When everything is all said and done
I might still be lost but today I've won
I've won!
(Take it, Jonny, Take it Jonny Schwartz, go)
Sometimes I find it hard to comprehend
A world that's my enemy, but also my friend?
It'll build me up strong then beat me down
Until eventually I'll find some sort of middle ground
And it's easy to let my negativity win
Because it takes hard work to find the positive end
You gotta look for it, it won't find you
But when I can't find it, you know what I do?
I start writing line by line
And begin to organize the thoughts I have in mind
They may be simple, they may be bland
Or too random for anyone to understand
But the more I write down the more I start to see
The big picture that's right in front of me
Come to think of it life is just a test
To see who can rise above the flames the best
The best
(Take it Jonny, one more time)
Now alotta the time I'm too scared to stress
What's really on my mind that I wanna express
What if they get offended or they disagree?
I don't wanna burn my bridges, not this early!
So I beat around the bush and see how they react
Then re-phrase my words so I can counteract
The shit storm that I didn't mean to cause
But you see that's the problem, that's one of my flaws
Is that...
And I start singin' bar by bar
And begin to bitch and moan with my guitar
If I only speak up when I'm alone
I get the false sense that I've got a backbone
And maybe writing songs helps me circumvent
But until I solve the problem it's just a statement
An illusion that I think I've won
So I'll stop talking and get something done
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Doo doo doo da doo doo da da da
Da woah da da da
Da oh yeah
