" "
Yes I've been [F]burned and I've been [G]spurned and through it [C]all my friends I've [Am]learned
That love is [F]not about whether you get stabbed, but how slow the knife gets [G]turned
" "
Cause you [C]can't hate the [F]night if you [G]lived your whole life without light
" "
" " [C]known

Wave hi to the camera!

Good Morning, John. It's Wednesday February 11th and I'm almost entirely sure that I got the date right this time.

It's Wednesday, Song Wednesday! This song is a little bit different than usual because instead of recording with me and my acoustic guitar, and then later going to the studio to record it for my album, I just recorded it at the studio to start with, so you're getting the studio version first ever viewing, here on Brotherhood 2.0!

I'm not really sure what to call this song. I've got a few ideas, but I was wondering if you guys have ideas as well, so if you could leave those in the comments. The best one I will choose, and then I will link to your channel in the side bar, which is actually over there.

So without further ado, here is my song about an anglerfish:

Yes it's true that I once went through life
As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned
And through it all, yes, I have learned
That love is not about whether you get stabbed
But how slow the knife gets turned

But my friends I've found an animal
Who doesn't feel this pain
And my life is so much better
Now that I can feel the same

Because you can't hate the night
If you've lived your whole life without light
And you can't hate the dish
If you've only ever eaten fish
And you can't feel alone
If it's all you've ever known

Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Has no reason to be happy
But it has no frikkin' idea
What else to be

The deep sea dwelling anglerfish
Never has to find a mate
They are always there together
When it's time to procreate

See one dark night, a young male
Bites the female on her side
And then slowly he becomes
A sperm-producing parasite

And if we can say he lives at all
He lives until she dies
And until that day he literally
Never leaves her side

Yeah you can't hate the night
If you've lived your whole life without light
And you can't hate the dish
If you've only ever eaten fish
And you can't feel alone
If it's all you've ever known

Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Has no reason to be happy
But it has no frikkin' idea
What else to be

For years this rule has kept me
Out of hopeless despair
You simply do not feel
What is always there

I ask my brain to entertain
That pain is the same
That if I feel it all the time
Can you really call it pain

I don't have any friends
And I don't have any hair
But neither does the anglerfish
And she doesn't care

Because you can't hate the night
If you've lived your whole life without light
And you can't hate the dish
If you've only ever eaten fish
And you can't feel alone
If it's all you've ever known

Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Has no reason to be happy
But she has no frikkin' idea
What else to be.

I hope that you enjoyed that! Please don't forget to leave potential song titles in the comments, I need to get a title of the song, and secondarily, DFTBA records is having the DFTBA radio hour tonight in which toddly00 and Caitlin sky will be talking about all things nerdy, all things DFTBA, all things musical, all things awesome. 9 pm Eastern standard time! There is a link in the sidebar. John, I hope you enjoyed my music, I enjoyed your question Tuesday, and I especially enjoyed captain Willy's voyage on the Failboat. Don't Forget to be Awesome.
