This is the new and improved (in my opinion anyway) version of I Don't Look Good On Paper. Originally the song was released under the Jessamine name, prior to rebranding to Raising Ravens in 2019 along with the B-side, Imaginary Friend. I decided pretty much on the spot during the first drum and bass session for the upcoming album, that rather than just adding drums to the original, we would just go for it and start over. Definitely the right move. ENJOY!
lyrics
Don't understand me,
why i don't want to be like you,
But you demand it
That i should see your point of view
I don't look good on paper, it's true.
About your money,
And all the things that make you, you
I wanted nothing
I want nothing more from you
I don't look good on paper
Or care about your price it's just too high
And out of reach I see the stars come out
They put you in your place and left alone
So when you wake up
And now and there's no-one left to burn
Will you demand it
That you have nothing left to learn
I don't look good on paper
Or care about your price it's just too high
And out of reach I see the stars come out
They put you in your place and left alone
I don't look good on paper
Or care about your price it's just too high
And out of reach I see the stars come out
They put you in your place
Why wait around to see the end is always far too steep
And still you're left unknown
