lyrics:

Been acting as the table for your crumbs
But now I’m seeking a promotion to be the tar inside your lungs
Because I can dance with the best of them, you know.

Now I’m bowing down to unstable states of mind
And joining all my friends in racing straight towards a red light
I guess lying takes a lot less time, when you’re convinced you are sincere.

Still I find myself with the blandest hand to bare
I’m a vacuum of charisma slowly siphoning your air
So any trace of aberrancy, should surely be revered.

But now all of the lines I drew and all I grew accustom to is gone
So I scrapped my personality and assumed the role you wrote for me alone
But you could not have made it on your own.

Etched your name into the whites of my eyes
You called out my pretension and sent it packing for the breadline
But I’m not starved for your attention, I’m starved for something real.

Now I’m wary of your warped idea of love
Thumbing through my psyche with a face mask and gloves
But in the absence of my objection, you smile and carry on.

But the fields that we were toiling in were never ours with to begin at all
And our resentment’s thinly veiled and subject to our social scale standing
But you could not have hoped to stick the landing

And all of our nostalgia notwithstanding,
Co-dependency negates companion planting.
