Текст пісні

Dim bulbs flicker

Wishing we were winners of a windfall

But I hit walls

Quicker than a pinball

Told me get lost, bet

The kid is like a whisper in the wind

Or a ding-dong ditcher

Ring a bell

Bitch, I've been gone

Get gonged and left with a head start

Yet I didn't get far

With the heft of a lead heart

And an X crossed

Red S sketched on my chest

Like a checked box

I am just Clark Kent at his desk job

I collect stars in a jar

Then connect dots

In a complex web

With a pen

When I express thoughts

That are etched in my flesh like a fresh scar

I've been dressed up for a wedding like a Ken doll

Trying to retcon events till the end gets better

Can't pretend I don't resent y'all

Since I can't depend on them

Then I know who my friends aren't

What'd you think that I'd forget, huh?

Uh-uh

I remember in the red-hot summer

When the temp dropped in the tundra

Fair-weather fans weren't there

When I stumbled unprepared in conundrums

Some are unaware of the struggles

While others mustn't love you enough to care

Or be troubled to be here

Or to come through anywhere

Motherfuckers, I ain't scared, I'll discuss it out in public

I have come to clear the air and confront you

Cause I ain't hearing nothing from you

So my lyrics are rebuttals

I have zero trust

And I will wear no cuffs or muzzle

You are wearing out, you're welcome

I will tell them how I really feel about them

In an album every year

With material to cover every area you enter

Cause you are all serial offenders

I will spare you from the rod, not the lecture

I accept the answer I expected

And can analyze the message

When understanding why's the question

I shan't deny they're feckless

I'm wary-eyed and desperate for connection

But there's a line I'm setting in the sand

Like, man am I pathetic

When the phone don't ring

And the photos sting

Cause we both know things

Aren't the same anymore

But the way it was before

Hasn't changed, we just aged

I ignored all the shade

That was hiding your true face

When it rains let it pour

In the wake of the storm

I can't say that I became better for it

But hey, that's what friends are for

Mistakes were made, and every precious gem is a lesson learned

Mending fences kept us separate

Never ever did it end a war

But I kept the exit door open just to crack

So I could see the sneak attack

You're all a bunch of liars

Thanks for the reminder

We don't even have to speak in fact

Please don't ask me why I'm leaving faster

Than I've seen repeated patterns

Like they're weaving baskets

And it doesn't even matter

That I'll needle at ya, I don't need a reason

After I've been cheating

Reading chapters from Ecclesiastes

Trying to learn to turn the other cheek, like he did

Jesus he just slapped me with a backhand

Then they act like I'm a mad man

In an Afghan and mask like I'm Batman

Just another joker hoping for the last laugh

And a tap dance on their graves in the badlands

Praying for an avalanche to happen as I clap my hands

This atmosphere is toxic

And it's got me feeling nauseous

And I'm anxious from the topic

So why not pop an Ativan

Lorazepam can stop the constant pain

The day they claim that I don't face my problems

That's the day they say that I became a raging alcoholic

I've watched them walk away

To escape the honest take

Afraid I'm hostile? well I oughta be

I'm audibly exhausted

And all I want is peace and harmony

I preach in homilies

I mean no harm to these I speak of

I am just so sick of seeking

Sovereignty and freedom

From all these awful people

Who have not conceded

That they did wrong to me

And I'm taking no hostages

If they're making no apologies

I'm taking no hostages

They're making no apologies

I'm taking no hostages

They're making no apologies

And making no apologies

I'm taking no hostages
