I'd rather be late and lose my turn
Than be present at all
With nothing to learn
There's no pool nearby
So I swim in my mind
Floating on thoughts
That help to escape the grind
She only cares when she wants to
When she needs to all the time
You can still care without the desire to
But you can't not care half of the time
Vinyl record on repeat
More scratches every day
You claim to love but you just mistreat
The tracks you overplay
A bold, cohesive collection now
To put up for your display
Attract another naive lover
An illusion custom made
She only cares when she wants to
When she needs to every day
You can still care without the desire to
Sometimes sacrifices must be made
What we used to share you threw away
To do this all alone
A text you read as cruel and mean
Assuming the incorrect tone
Vinyl record on repeat
More scratches every day
You claim to love but you just mistreat
The tracks you overplay
A bold, cohesive collection now
To put up for your display
Attract another naive lover
An illusion custom made
Time on my hands in my pocket not a cent
Feeling alone, feeling used, knowing where it all went
Send me a vibe I can hold onto tight
One that will become with me as pure as what's right
For at the end of the day
All I want is night
Give me the chew without the bite
Muster up the might to keep focus and sight
On the route I need
Over want in my life
Keep me focused on reaction over spite
Keep me producing what is fresh and never trite
Away from the negative space
Reflecting as much light
