// Verse
Waste away all-- day
Growth won't get you- pai--d
Love won't keep you- sa--fe
Drugs won't keep you- ta---me
It's a shame
They peg you for a phase like it's nothing
They beg you not to stray from the wrong things
But still-- can't hear no voices
'Cause they-- can't speak in choices
It all-- just comes out noises
It must-- be what destroys us

Is this what foils us?
Is this the focus?
I got no trust
I don't know what
Could-- save this world from tragedy
'Cause it's where-- I learned 'bout apathy
And how to spot-- a trap that breathes
And feel alone-- with company
And how to label-- what I see
To separate the rest from me
Despite what I could be

// Hook
No, hell ain't freezing over
And it's shoulder to shoulder
Each held by private holders
It's too late now for sober
You live but you'll never learn

// Verse
They say that they wa--nt truth
But won't pick up the tools
They say that they wa--nt proof
But keep making up new rules 
They're just fools
Say they had me figured out in my first position
Their facts starting to sound like they're superstitions
Just politicians in plain clothes
Keep showing off them labels
Like calling me unstable
Or unfit for a main role

How does the saying go?
When you know you know
Oh, now we toe-to-toe
I suggest you hold
In expectations you pray of me
I'm the one creating this blasphemy
I'm the one-- you don't believe
An image of-- indecency
A deep basal toxicity
That lost its charm
When it would speak
When di--d it get so bleak?

YOUR SIGN
[A min 95 bpm]

----

I don't ever wanna say
The wrong thing
I play it too-- safe
Don't wanna get carried away

But something's telling me that this time
It's fine
To cross the line
If you say you're mine
I can make you shine

Let's make this a night to remember
Maybe we lose our minds, surrender
Lose it all
Don't play too small
Recognize when ya see a star
I see it in your eyes you're going far
Keep going 'cause you know that I want more

----

Hey baby, can't you see-- what you've done to me
How lately, I wanna be-- what you wanna see
I couldn't do it
If you-- can't be here with me
Let's stop wasting time
Just take this as your sign

----

It's been a minute
Admit it
We don't know our limits
Gotta put some more muscle in it

Gotta treat this more like it's different
Pivot
So we know we in it
And just so we know we've been it

The First Telephone (Beat)

LYRICS

[[VERSE 1]]

This place feels so cold
And so far from home
Tell me how can I feel so alone
When I’ve got options for days
It’s ‘cause they never cared either way

They don’t understand 
It’s just what they’re demanding
Treat me like a stand-in
Compete for commands and a chance
To make me feel something
They can’t
Now I feel nothing

————

Can’t reason with cruel
They play by their rules
Don’t care to hide intentions
Where safety’s never mentioned
Where love to them’s possession
And attention 
With impressions of 
A man that’ll give you protection from
The world
But we know that it’s just deception
Here’s a lesson

————

[[HOOK]]

Every face has another side
Every man has a final price
Every truth will become a lie
When you’re just a prize

Every door is a suicide
Every floor’s somewhere you can’t hide
Every chore is a do or die
When they own your life

—————

[[VERSE 2]]

Doesn’t matter what you want
Doesn’t matter if you’ve done things
All that matters is you know where they stand
So they can — take and —
Make them—selves 
Out like saints when
They treat you like a mind they need to break in
And read you for a sign where they can snake in
To feed you every line that keeps you caged in

And it ain’t over ’til it’s over 
But it ain’t sold ’til it’s foreclosure
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice to see 
It be somebody else’s memory

—————

[[BRIDGE]]

You lose your *soul* like
It’s dislocated 
Pain’s not pro-rated
Check’s been post-dated
So you ain’t hatin’ no more
Just you wait for what’s in store

They take your *whole* mind
For any good it’d make them
Maybe you’ll be awake then
Until then you can depend
On this lesson
