It’s been a long time coming / a lot of push and pull, but I stepped away / could have gone either way / thought I’d dust myself off / while you shovel it into your face / telling me I look great / you built a kingdom in the stalls around your town / lined up your riches on your thrown / when I deserted, oh you seemed so proud / well thanks… I guess / dust yourself off / tell me I look great / smile and say you wish you did the same / it’s nothing to be proud of anyway / just one less thing to be ashamed of / and now I guess I’m fucking normal / so don’t humour me / you look like you haven’t slept for days / let’s see what you’re saying at 6am.
