lyrics

Verse 1:
Sometimes I lose sight of all that’s good with me
I get so down, and pound myself for all my insanity
But every once in awhile comes clarity,., Finally!

Chorus:
I’m not so bad when I’m not this sad
And I’m not so dirty that I’ll never be clean again
I’m worth a million pearls, spread the word across the world
I’m never had and I’m just so glad
I’m not too washed up and unable to obtain a man
I’m worth a thousand diamonds, pick me, I’m worth a trillion violets

Verse 2:
Sometimes I lose faith in all that's pure and true
Guess I'm afraid to live again; to start anew
But then my sun lights up like fuel
Shines bright like jewels, I know I'm not through

Chorus:
I’m not so bad when I’m not this sad
And I’m not so dirty that I’ll never be clean again
I’m worth a million pearls, spread the word across the world
I’m never had and I’m just so glad
I’m not too washed up and unable to obtain a man
I’m worth a thousand diamonds, pick me, I’m worth a trillion violets

Bridge:
sometimes it’s easy to lose track
of all the little things that
make me uniquely me
But then I see how beautiful the world is
and I start feeling this burst of energy
People tend to get all wrapped up in perfection
Getting their nails and their hair did, I’m sayin’
Which leads them all to major disappointment
Then they all go ballistic
Get out of that mindset, while you still can

Chorus:
I’m not so bad when I’m not this sad
And I’m not so dirty that I’ll never be clean again
I’m worth a million pearls, spread the word across the world
I’m never had and I’m just so glad
I’m not too washed up and unable to obtain a man
I’m worth a thousand diamonds, pick me, I’m worth a trillion violets

Chorus:
I’m not so bad when I’m not this sad
And I’m not so dirty that I’ll never be clean again
I’m worth a million pearls, spread the word across the world
I’m never had and I’m just so glad
I’m not too washed up and unable to obtain a man
I’m worth a thousand diamonds, pick me, I’m worth a trillion violets

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
