lyrics

What can I do for you?
That’s why you’re calling
We’re either oceans apart or we’re all in
Cut to the chase, my man
Lie you cut to the heart
I lit a final cigarette by the park bench
Slightly ceremonial, I’d say, unless my guard’s down
And I could hang it all out honest
It was mostly routine
There was a concentrated circle of friends
But the honor of the cavalry has come to an end
You say you’re tasting bitterness
I’m bunking in confectionaries now
I’ve heard you bellowing
Head in the stock
But I’ve never held the keys to the pillory locks
You’re screaming in a voice that don’t belong to you
Indiscriminately cardinal intermediate
North and south same as east to you
I’ve never had opinions about what you should do
We’re not a team my man
One and one not two
Your mother says that you’re blessed
But that ain’t something she can prove
Do you want to go west?
Is that what the lore of your heroes suggests?
If destiny is real, go on manifest
I wonder who’s ambitions you’ll devour and digest along the way
Well I know that we could pivot
Turn the cannons on me
But I’m the one who’s singing so I’m the one who’ll be
Stenographer, judge, the entire jury
But I’ll leave the execution to you
A reassessment’s in order, it seems
Oh I wonder how I ever thought we shared any dreams
Cause we never shared the spoils
The badges were imaginary
Okay, I see, you got me
