The Gap

Lyrics:

stow your ego x4
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like to bruise
Do you like it at the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinking to the bottom
Do you like to bruise
on your way to the bottom

I'm a live wire 
In a lightning storm, 
I'm mean
But I would fry every sign that I was ever born
if I could just wipe the slate clean
And when the world's on fire 
screaming out for more
All I'll hear 
is the crackle and pour 
of the cement
Filling up my shoes

Because my soul
Is a tuning fork
Humming the broken chord
My fingers are sparklers
Burned out, once bright
But I'm still bored
They tell me I'm special
They tell me I'm brand new
But all that means is
I'm sharp as the knife that's cutting on you
So Don't Tell me I'm special
Don't tell me to save you
I don't think I want to bleed for you

Just because something sounds rude
doesn't mean that it ain't true
Just because I have an attitude
every time I talk to you
doesn't mean I don't like you
It just means
I don't like being me
And once you know that 
Everything is exactly as it seems
that's a fact
Because this ain't about you
So stow your ego

Because my soul
Is a tuning fork
Humming the broken chord
My fingers are sparklers
Burned out, once bright
And I'm still bored
They tell me I'm special
They tell me I'm brand new
But all that means is
I'm sharp as the knife that's cutting on you
So Don't Tell me I'm special
Don't ask me to save you
I don't think I want to bleed for you

Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
