Blackballed
The mortal sin the fatal flaw You own the room like Blanche DuBois
Conversation stops when you walk in
The little things that follow you Rumors, Lies, the goddamn truth
You float above the things you said and did
But I know your energy
I'd never count you down
You'll burn this joint down to the ground
Your fingerprints your calling cards The cigarettes The cotton balls
You leave a trail of bread crumbs where you've been
The endless nights, the stolen lies The bold excuse, the alibi
They think they've got you cornered once again
But time's your currency; a year can be so cruel
Take the kings and turn them all to fools
Blackballed You've been shut down
Blackballed find another town
You'd never join the club that would have had you anyway
Blackballed you've been kicked out
It's all they ever talk about
You're gonna show them all what they were missing anyway
You always say the check was sent You always smell like peppermint
You pull up in a strange car every time
You charm your favorite enemies because they just can't see your game
You've burned this town and you'll move on
Leave on a smoking bridge and choking on your goddamn name
Conversation stops when you walk in
The little things that follow you Rumors, Lies, the goddamn truth
You float above the things you said and did
But I know your energy
I'd never count you down
You'll burn this joint down to the ground
Your fingerprints your calling cards The cigarettes The cotton balls
You leave a trail of bread crumbs where you've been
The endless nights, the stolen lies The bold excuse, the alibi
They think they've got you cornered once again
But time's your currency; a year can be so cruel
Take the kings and turn them all to fools
Blackballed You've been shut down
Blackballed find another town
You'd never join the club that would have had you anyway
Blackballed you've been kicked out
It's all they ever talk about
You're gonna show them all what they were missing anyway
You always say the check was sent You always smell like peppermint
You pull up in a strange car every time
You charm your favorite enemies because they just can't see your game
You've burned this town and you'll move on
Leave on a smoking bridge and choking on your goddamn name
