lyrics

"Not That Smart" by Brion Riborn (c) Etymbiotic Music [ASCAP]

I wish I was so fortunate to understand you
Then I could close my eyes and die
And floating to heaven I would surely recommend you
To all other sinners passing by

And I may not know just what I've done
But I'm certainly not the only one
So let's save ourselves some time and admit we're not that smart

No
Not that smart

She moved to the city when she was just barely 18
She gave her her body and her smile
She couldn't remember what I'd said before I left her
So she just stayed sad for a while

But she may not know just what she's done
And she's certainly not the only one
So let's save ourselves some pain and admit we're not that smart

No
Not that smart

He was still living in the shadow of his father
And forgetting to chase the light of day
Then one day in his winter as the fire grew much dimmer
He finally has the words to say

And much too late did not know just what he'd done
But he's certainly not the only one
So let's save ourselves some pride and admit
That we may not know just what we've done
But we're certainly not the only ones
So let's save ourselves some time and admit we're not that smart

No
Not that smart

Veins - Single

This is the band that I started with Leona CW. It's a very different direction than my solo material, but I think you'll dig it. This is one of our singles, including a bonus track. Brion Riborn
