written on my lunch break.
recorded at home in the middle of the night when the house was quiet and the family slept
lyrics
There’s nothing new, under the sun
You start with 4, and end with 1
I should lose, everything I have
So you can keep, whatever you can grab
We were trained, to back you up
When the roles reverse, there’s just not enough
The urgency, would be replaced
But I’m only here, till reformation day
Chorus
Said you were lonely, without your family
Said you were joking, but you never made good
Said you were trying, why did I believe you
I guess I had forgotten
There’s nothing new, in your bag of tricks
The work around is just bait and switch
I should lose, what I moved here with
So you can keep, acting like a kid
But you wont grow up, you’re older than me
The return on risk, is really just gambling
When you laugh, I know I’m right
And I wont be there. for silent night
Chorus
Said you were lonely, without your family
Said you were joking, but you never made good
Said you were trying, why did I believe you
I guess I had forgotten
Your word’s no good, it’s not worth the air
That it takes to explain, why you really don’t care
Your word’s no good, but I gave you a break
So easy to promise, so easy to fake
With so much to smash, and so much at steak
Your word’s no good, but your acting is great
There’s nothing new, to criticize
Half of the truth, is still a lie
You built this war, it’s all you know
But I’m only here, to let it go
Chorus
Said you were lonely, without your family
Said you were joking, but you never made good
Said you were trying, why did I believe you
I guess I had forgotten
I’ve been doing this a long time
