Among distant family
|
Bloodlines remain
|
You¡¯ll never shed your ¡°win fast¡± legacy
|
But I attempt to steer away
|
From bleak conclusions
|
Once again, I¡¯m soft and I lose this way
|
|
And all the smoke is gone
|
And you know what¡¯s in the box
|
And you¡¯ll throw down your trump card-
|
¡°You can trust me¡± catch-22
|
but with all the depth of a teardrop
|
Scrub tub and a washboard-
|
Think it¡¯s time to get clean
|
|
Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
When you know that you won¡¯t always mean them
|
Big lie
|
Does it feel okay that your words are a sock in my eye?
|
And your permanent things
|
Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
|
Check off your list of things to do-
|
Gotta keep the score way ahead
|
Gotta practice your victory dance
|
And my harsh feelings
|
Are just a few of millions
|
Strike up the grill and burn all of your enemies
|
|
And as the curtains rise
|
You¡¯ll show me what¡¯s in the box
|
But in ten to twenty seconds
|
Your capricious side will have shown
|
And you know it won¡¯t even matter
|
|
Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
When you know that you won¡¯t always mean them
|
Big lie
|
Do you feel okay
|
With deceit you can always get by?
|
And your permanent things
|
Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
|
Climbing high and looking down
|
I didn¡¯t learn a thing
|
But how to hold my breath
|
***And you with the upper hand now
|
You afford to never look back and
|
There you go again
|
How can I fit all of this in a recycling bin?
|
|
***Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
When you know that you won¡¯t always mean them
|
Big lie
|
Does it feel okay that your words are a sock in my eye?
|
And your permanent things
|
Don¡¯t say such permanent things
|
