Verse 1
She used romance as a threat
Put me out like a cigarette
Avoided me like a debt
Described two years like describing a vignette
All words surrendered fall onto ears
I have rendered deaf
Sad enough to push past all the
Dead and drink from the Lethe
Prechorus
You must accept it
There's no way to win
It shows in the crows
Footprints on your skin
You put on a smile
You've worn out before
But it's the only one left
Inside the drawer
Chorus
Calling out your name
Tell me what you're worth
Or give me back the lessons
I've found on this Earth
I'm tipping your crown
Not saying goodbye
I just need a moment
To demystify
Verse 2
She used romance as a threat
So she could fashion an inlet
That ran straight through to my mindset
And keep my desire for her so whet
Please pour me some whiskey
Yes, I'll still drive though it's risky
Most of my routine is a chance
I'll end up in a squad card or an ambulance
Prechorus
I can't accept it
Though I know I'll lose
Every contest where
There's another to choose
I put on a face
I have not seen before
Tucked in the back of
This junk drawer
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I read the note you wrote of love
Although you couldn't spell
So in your world nothing's a problem and all is well
Chorus
Calling out your name
Tell me what you're worth
Not a goddamn thing on
This earth
I'm tipping your crown
Fuck you and goodbye
I just need a moment
To demystify
