lyrics

Like it or not this is the deal
Reap what you sew, keep what you steal
and nobody here can stand to be near me
when they think I'm falling
So let me be clear when I go I'm not crawling

A moment of truth stuck in the wire
It's hard to ignore the only fire
So throw it away, give up for the day
and let you heart be shaken
yeah I can be broken, too, if you'd be patient

So say what you think won't make me stay
Like I thought this was okay
I just revel in decay

Nobody here knows why you'd show
If you love me you control me that's all you had to know.

A moment of truth stuck in the wires
It's hard to ignore the only fire
And nobody here can stand to be near me when they
Think I'm drinking
So let me be clear this ship is not done sinking
Not done sinking

Say what you want to darling, it don't mean nothing to me
Ambivalence sure seems charming but ain't what it used to be.
