This is a whisper into your satellite dish |
|
This is a death threat in cross stitch and I demand a hostage |
|
And then I want a motor boat |
|
And then I'll let your hostage go. |
|
It's like life is a death bound train |
|
And every day is just a stop along the way |
|
And every era is the modern age for the people in it |
|
Every prayer is paramount for the owner of the steepled fingers |
|
I knew better but |
|
I'd hope for better boy |
|
Boy I'd hope for better than this |
|
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives |
|
No matter what she forgives |
|
And I knew better but |
|
I'd hope for better boy |
|
Boy I'd hope for better than this |
|
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives... |
|
Like opportunity knocks |
|
Misfortune'll pick that lock |
|
And pick your pockets |
|
Pick your poison boys, and here I'll pick it for ya' |
|
Sure your habit dies hard |
|
But your bottle kills easy |
|
See me cut my Coke with Captain |
|
My Captain with Ron Diaz |
|
Mind if you don't cut when |
|
He's been good to me how he has, |
|
You don't cut when |
|
He's been good to me, |
|
Princeton Minnesota |
|
And to everybody talkin' bout my tits |
|
I guess that it's because you can't find shit to diss |
|
About the way that I spit |
|
I blow (?_________?_________?) |
|
Another fill you couldn't cop |
|
I've got shit to do in ProTools |
|
While you're fuckin' around in photoshop |
|
The road don't stop, while you got off |
|
To take a breather, either I'm an |
|
Over-eager emo alcoholic with a |
|
Nice chest and a press list |
|
Or maybe you just jealous |
|
I knew better but |
|
I'd hope for better boy |
|
Boy I'd hope for better than this |
|
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives |
|
No matter what she forgives |
|
And I knew better but |
|
I'd hope for better boy |
|
Boy I'd hope for better than this |
|
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives |
|
Shake me, and hear the filament rattle, awake and |
|
Save me, from this bit of the battle |
|
My pride is like an ember in my chest that sets my breath to burning |
|
So you'll forgive me if a tongue is in the cheek I'm turning |
|
Hurts me just to think of one more curtsy for the king |
|
These knees don't bend easy please receive me on my feet |
|
I pull my shadow off the street, retreat |
|
Believe me you don't want to follow me, |
|
These hollow dreams |
|
That walk around in full-color 3D |
|
Just to see how petty the daily drama and diorama really can be |
|
I'll pull a Peter Pan and set ya free, |
|
When you can see what you can do for me 'cause |
|
A quiet night before the crackle of my fuse lit, |
|
A vocal booth is just another padded room, shit |
|
A quiet night before the crackle of my fuse lit, |
|
A vocal booth is just another padded room, kid |
|
Put all your words away, for all the noise you make |
|
Put all your words away, for all... |
|
I knew better but |
|
I'd hope for better boy |
|
Boy I'd hope for better than this |
|
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives. |
