a song I wrote a week ago called grain of salt! Corny passive aggressive pop songs are slowly becoming my brand and I am not upset about it. New one called CGI up in two days- trying this crazy new thing where I don't fall the face of the Earth for months at a time.

LYRICS:
never been one to hold a grudge
but maybe one to stay forever slightly pissed off
i'm unsure if those are synonyms
but I find a second home in passiveness

forgive forget that's what I choose
only the forgetting part I fail to do
letting this eat away at me til i'm consumed
paving the way I get walked over by you

since I take it all with a grain of salt
but it slips right into the wound
so it stings every time I move, but its fine
let any chance of confrontation pass me by
i'm not blowing this out of proportion
it's just some mild irritation
and i'm the one who doesn't benefit
from all my silent resentment
well it is what it is
since I take it all with a grain of salt
that might as well weigh one hundred tons
it's such a silly me problem since I don't know how to speak up

I know you may be a good person
and it's unfair to demean someone to one situation
but my lack of trust is like a marker bleeding through the page
destroying any chance of a blank slate

forgive forget that's what I choose
only the forgetting part I fail to do
letting this eat away at me til i'm consumed
paving the way I get walked over by you

since I take it all with a grain of salt
but it slips right into the wound
so it stings every time I move, but its fine
let any chance of confrontation pass me by
i'm not blowing this out of proportion
it's just some mild irritation
and i'm the one who doesn't benefit
from all my silent resentment
well it is what it is
since I take it all with a grain of salt
that might as well weigh one hundred tons
it's such a silly me problem when you don't know what you did wrong

there's really no anger
i'm just subconsciously bitter
since you know its common sense to be
a decent human so to speak
and all I recall
is the way you killed my ego
its the only side of you that I know
so be better and prove me wrong

since I take it all with a grain of salt
but it slips right into the wound
so it stings every time I move, but its fine
let any chance of confrontation pass me by
i'm not blowing this out of proportion
it's just some mild irritation
and i'm the one who doesn't benefit
from all my silent resentment
well it is what it is
since I take it all with a grain of salt
that might as well weigh one hundred tons
it's such a silly me problem when you don't know what you did wrong

so maybe i'll improve my communication
and stop letting you boil my blood
and write a more positive song
but for now i'm stuck with a grain of salt...
