lyrics

Hey man, it’s been a while since you’re style and your stature were something to be stood behind, an occasion for persuasion, you blast straight from the past to kiss ass and borrow some of mine, qualms of how you’ve missed me, all injury is history, a condition of contrition you’re dishing through you’re crooked teeth, storming up a sea of rebranded treachery, a sham apology of hollow deceit

well you can talk about the way that you think it should be, it didn’t turn out like you wanted so now you need me to put the pieces back in place when there’s no one to blame, you’re slipping down into a shame spiral, shame spiral, shame

Your mug, high upon the altar, buffoons who never falter, a longing to be lionized, and this cult needs someone to work it, I’m perfect for the job? I can see right through your lying eyes, token of remorse or another Trojan horse, no I can’t give you what you’re seeking, you’re tweaking and it weakens me to sign my pretty name on a spiral full of shame, I’m mapping out a separate trajectory

Well you can talk about the life that you think you deserve, rebuild the bridges that you burned, when you need me to serve, within an army full of ghosts who’ve abandoned your name, your slipping down into a shame spiral, shame spiral, shame

As the spiral slowly unfolds, stories with familiar plot holes, potholes in the streets renamed but not re-paved, I’m going home my separate way, yea I’ve been down that road before, but nay no more…
