Tricks Of The Trade
The lines have been blurred between my friends and enemies.
Kicked to the curb all my morals and integrity.
I jot down bold faced lies, it'll ring more true in song,
Over drunk sloppy chords when I'm tied off and gone.
Smiling to myself.
And I wish that I hadn't gone so far.
Cause I still remember that early September,
You walked down to my house.
After fighting with your father for over an hour
You just needed to get some rest.
I wish I knew why I'm trying to forget
My faith had been shaken long before I was left alone,
And my fears validated after seeing just how low you'd go.
I've been known to be petty, and that's no threat,
Just the nagging reminder of your most recent regret.
Fake smiles all around.
And I wish that I hadn't gone so far.
Cause I still remember that early September,
You walked down to my house.
After fighting with your father for over an hour
You just needed to get some rest.
I wish I knew why I'm trying to forget
And I know that this seems a bit one sided.
Just exhale, and pretend that you don't mind it.
You've moved past all this and I just exist
In a world that is my cell.
Toasting your health, scream out
I hope you burn in hell
