You know, lately I've come to terms with deceit and seizure
This life of leisure dismantles your actions
Toward a semblance of past distraction
I figured you got impatient while the rest of us kept on working
I'm decidedly selfish in a knee-jerk reaction told
While my weary eyelids retired control
After all that we've done
You still skipped out on the beat of a different drum
Tragically lame for how far you've come
Slowly drift around
It's all consuming now
You're fast asleep on someone else's couch
Between you and me, I've got somewhere else to be
I've found something better
After all that we've done
You still skipped out on the beat of a different drum
Blurring the lines between failure and fortune
Washed out in static through our lives
I simply conjured the substance while you got high
You carried the "one"
(Just disappointment for everyone)
While I carried the "two"
And left the states without you
Switching "threes" and "fours"
I settled the score
I followed the rules
But I swear I needed more
I swear I needed more
You carried the "one"
(Just disappointment for everyone)
While I carried the "two"
And left the states without you
Trusting "threes" and "fours"
I settled scores
I followed rules
But I swore I needed more
I swear I needed more
I swear I asked for more
Washed out in static through our lives
I simply conjured the substance while you got high
