Even My Vices Have Vices
Common Shiner
I fell in love at breakfast
I guess it's the best meal of the day
Luckily it was only in my head
So it just ran away
I feel on the brink of everything
But truth always gives me the slip
But if science runs the world
Why do I always leave the tip?
And you say it always ends just so
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
So I say the world will spin around again
And I'll be left on the outside looking in
I'm so lost when it turns out you're not the person I wanted you to be
And I love the games we play though they're killing me
And I know that these re-occuring stories always end the same
They always end the same
I feel the jazz running through my veins
Lost in a world so self-consumed
I should use my powers for good
But I never do
I think I'm on to something big
The heartbeat of everything that's real
But I lose it obsessing
Over how you make me feel
And you say,
"All these things must go"
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm so lost when it turns out you're not the person I wanted you to be
And I love the games we play though they're killing me
And I know that these re-occuring stories always end the same
They always end the same
And you say, no no no
Well I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm so close
And I'm so lost
I'm so lost
