FAT LIP
Lyrics
Fat lip, vomit, hit the pen, I'm lit World's cruel, fuck school, no breaks, no rules If that's what it's come to, then I need a ride Looking for love, is it even alive? Is it even alive? And will heal what I hide? Will it heal my life?

Passing strangers, Jekyll and Hydes All got me hiding for my life I feel the tracks rumble below And the sterile steel rumbles my soul and Bouquet's bouncing as I cry Into my sleeve, another bloodshot night I saw you with another guy Will the makeup cover my Cover my, ill brood, backroom, fly by, blood shot eyes Will it hide, or heal the messy mood from my Fat lip, vomit, broken heel, dimwit Bar stool, beer me, gay-straight-queer me If that's what it's come to then count me out Looking for signs of life, I fucking doubt, my Fat lip, vomit, hit the pen, I'm lit World's cruel, fuck school, no breaks, no rules Is this what it's come to? Then I need a ride Looking for love, is it even alive? Is it even alive? And will it heal what I hide? Will it heal my...
About This Song
A cynically-framed song about navigating society, purpose and relationships hoping for better but now knowing if it's possible.
What is the song “FAT LIP” by Chad Lewine about?
I wrote this by recounting specific feelings and the moments and places that brought them on during my time in Brooklyn. My goal was to appeal to the jaded, burnt-out youth by meeting them where they're are.
