Lyrics

They said you were the king
In a house of cards
Who fought with spades for diamonds
Just to lose their hearts
And it happens fast
When you're moving quick
Look back too much
You lose your grip on it

All of this and that
It isn't tit for tat
If you don't feel good about it
So much in the way
But I'll be damned if that happens

It's just a carnival
Full of carnivores
Swallows to the feeder
For a poisonous score
Its not what it serves
But who serves it
Hijacks the brain and body
By the time you turn six

All of this and that
It isn't shit my friend
If you don't feel good about it
So much in the way
But I'll be damned if that happens

Can you throw it out that door?
Without feeling bad about it?
Can you flip the switch and sit?
Without feeling bad about it?

Push comes to shove
Through heaving lungs
We force the air
To let it go

And now we know that you end up
Feeling bad about it
