lyrics

everyday i’m payin’ somethin’ to steal
a look behind the curtain
pretty certain nothin’ good is waitin’ for me
pretty tragic when the love was nothing magic
and you find it’s just a game of wait and see
it’s only pain when you choose to suffer
but then again most don’t even bother
disaster and despair around the corner
when the latter meets the former
well you know that’s where i’m always gonna be
simple people simple pleasures
when we embarked on this endeavor
your mind was as made up as could be
it’s one more story, yeah one more sad account
of untold glory and the truth ya don’t want out

speak, speak in humble phrases
blush, blush when looked upon
bow, bow your head in silence babe
and bite, bite, bite your tongue

i got ample room to amble in this
shack that’s all in shambles
as i’m ramblin’ about free samples that i never got
a bit of a break in the banter
and slanderous enchantments
real-life reenactments of @#$! that never happened
livin’ in the lower levels of lessened moral treble
my heart’s a bit broken, head’s a bit bedeviled
as i sell myself on fables that i’ve lived like such a rebel
without the balls to put my cards up on the table

holdin’ on i know we just might
make it through to the other side
in spite of all the years we tried
ya know it’s just not fair to cry
believing together we’d hold on forever
in spite of this pressure we just might make it out alright
