lyrics

v1:
if time is money then i'm on welfare
and change is coming
but i've felt there's
a weight in the air
feels like purgatory
too afraid to be scared
just a made up story
where the where doesn't matter
and has-been's are saturdays
everyone is flattered
by the last thing you had to say
but the days are short
and the nights are long
gotta build up that rapport
make the poor man money strong
writing songs with no aim
I'm shooting blanks into pages
I erase with a click and I forget I ever say this
but it sticks
in my head like gum underneath a table
not there until it's a fable, long lost
and only tales, you touch and find notes sealed
by a man you barely know still
these feels on a flat surface
make you remember what you had to work with
purchased a no-good
first lip
and the second came after too long to live
I'm too strong to quit
no matter how many jelly reddit donuts don't know it
I'm only home

hook:
i am a knot tied in your new shoes
i come undone
when you walk through
all that you've become is nothing more than doom
all that you've become is nothing but you

v2:
so don't point out my flaws
I see them when I listen
as if I didn't, as if I cook without a kitchen
no stove to burn my gruel on
I earn it, but school was just a furnace
for soul burning
I got by but a bit singed
gainful employment is working on what's within
got a friend that won't move if he's on fire
streets and sanitation for life is what he aspires
but he's tired of waiting for rain
to put out the smoke inside his ears
and drowning in his own train
of javelins stabbing him
won't pay for what's no chain
the room is so secure with a rope from which you hang
if you never leave
block out the memories
i remember he
never moved
made the nation a place to chase that rubber room
but i'm a two
on a scale of terrible
don't confuse this paraphrase
with parable

i am a knot tied in your new shoes
i come undone
when you walk through
all that you've become is nothing more than doom
all that you've become is nothing but you
