​dog eat dog

[Verse 1]
Cleave me in two
I know what I asked for but I haven’t gotten it yet
So take me for truth
And I’ll play defensive if it leads me out of my head

I know what I’m doing
But everyone’s always breathing down my neck
I want to be new
And I want something typical to keep me in check

[Chorus]
But that’s just the way that it goes
I get that nobody knows
I want to stop, take it home

[Post-Chorus]
I’m sick of playing so dumb
But I can’t ever seem to give myself a rest
I’m falling out of my comfort now
I’m falling out

[Verse 3]
But I can’t keep going on this exhausted
Hang my head and tuck my tail between my legs
And the sight and smell are making me nauseous
So I’ll sing my tune ’til the sensation goes away

And I could tie myself to a target
It’d be so nice to feel like something’s after me
And I can’t help but think it’s just what you wanted
We’re both alive, why can’t we both just be at peace

[Verse 4]
Weave me from you
I can’t be in a million places at once
So tell me the truth
I don’t need to know anything except who’s won

And I know it’s your rules
You don’t need me to tell you that I’ve been outdone
That just seems too cruel
I’m too tired of all of this to turn and run

[Chorus]
But that’s just the way that it goes
I get that nobody knows
I want to stop, take it home

[Post-Chorus]
I’m sick of playing so dumb
But I can’t ever seem to give myself a rest
I’m falling out of my comfort now
I’m falling out
I’m sick of playing so dumb
But I can’t ever seem to give myself a rest
I’m falling out of my comfort now
I’m falling out

[Outro]
Pull my eyes from their sockets
You’ll see everything I do at once
And if you’re wanting me off it
I’ll be there in a couple of months
So affix my back to a target
I can keep playing jester for fun
And if anything’s left here to harvest
I can give it everything it wants

Everything it wants
Everything I wasn’t
Everything is gone but
Everything is nothing
Everything it wants
Everything I wasn’t
Everything is gone and
Everything is nothing
Everything it wants
Everything I wasn’t
Everything is gone but
Everything is nothing
Everything it wants
Everything I wasn’t
Everything is gone and
Everything is nothing
