Wrote a thank you card said I appreciate the value of the gesture held it in my hand counterfeit and planned It all seemed fabricated. I’ve learned with time That you toe the line With shinny stories of your “good standing” I just don’t trust anyone to leverage power then call me family. Shiver with a meal that's hard to chew I transcend season to understand you. You do the right thing If somoenes watching A different story when you close the door And it's clear now that you’re murky And I can't fake it like you anymore I can't fake it like you anymore. And I just don't trust anyone that mixes money And calls me family. And I just don't trust anyone dangles power and calls me family. And i just don’t trust anyone to leverage guilt and call me family. And I just don’t. I recoil, I reflect, I divulge, I reject I recoil, I reflect, I divulge, I reject that, reject that. You made me feel as bleak as a blank card On shelf in a dollar store This is how you wanted it This is your war. Call it a victory if there's a profit “We all value you till your off it” This is how you wanted it This is your war Wrote a thank you card said I appreciate the value of the gesture You wanna pat on the back well I’m not gonna give you that.

It's not so much living just me running out the clock and not to sound dramatic we’re all committed to the bit We navigate this hellscape but I still give a shit I like driving on roads where the trees meet I like singing your songs when we don't speak I like driving on roads where the trees meet I like singing along The language of light has local dialects Memorize the back roads, take your time. Learn to be anonymous learn to fall among the leaves The choice is as easy as you wanted to be Wanted it to be I like driving on roads where the trees meet I like singing your songs when we don't speak I like driving on roads where the trees meet I like singing along

Why don't you ever want to play? I'm tired of this piece of string You sleep as much as I do now And you don't eat much of anything I don't know who you're talking to I made a search through every room But all I found was dust that moved In shadows of the afternoon And listen, about those bitter songs you sing? They're not helping anything They won't make you strong So, we should open up the house Invite the tabby two doors down You could ask your sister If she doesn't bring her basset hound Ask the things you shouldn't miss Tape-hiss and the Modern Man The Cold War and card catalogs To come and join us if they can For girly drinks and parlor games We'll pass around the easy lie Of absolutely no regrets And later maybe you could try To let your losses dangle off The sharp edge of a century And talk about the weather, or How the weather used to be And I'll cater with all the birds that I can kill Let their tiny feathers fill disappointment Lie down, and lick the sorrow from your skin Scratch the terror and begin To believe you're strong All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV And frankly that thing doesn't really interest me I swear I'm going to bite you hard And taste your tinny blood If you don't stop the self-defeating lies You've been repeating since the day you brought me home I know you're strong
