Always Leave the Wanting More...

People askin where I've been
All beware what lies within
It's getting bad again
It's getting bad again
My stream of consciousness runs thin
I wont take my medicine
It's getting bad again
It's getting bad again

Always leave them wanting more
Leave your legacy in a puddle on the floor
I know everything you're supposed to say
I know it's selfish, that dont make this go away

On the day Robin Williams died, I was in a dive bar. Heard the news and ugly cried
Cuz it felt like my fate was sealing. Ordered straight vodka and stared at the ceiling
Picking absently where the paint was peeling
The worthlessness under the surface revealing
This burden, this sentient weight
That I'm feeling will take too much effort to continue concealing
I knew then I would never be better, sentenced to run on this sentence forever
I thought I was stronger, I thought I was better
But in the middle of August, I cant blame the weather
So...

Always leave them wanting more
Leave your legacy in a puddle on the floor
I know everything you're supposed to say
I know the hotline, that wont make this go away

Watch a list of my friends bleed out their regrets in 5 minute intervals everyone forgets
But not me, I know each beat to all of their sets and hoard the rewards my loyalty gets
All the little bargains we make, defrauding the taxes our mental states take
Faking our smiles until faces ache, never breaking the cycle with so much at stake
It's exhausting. We're all caustic imposters trapped in the habits ambivalence fosters
Petulant children who teeter and totter between fairytales and make-believe monsters
After the show we go smoke in the alley. Too many nights in the same spot to tally
None of us schmucks will ever move to Cali
Came out here for the mountains but only found valleys
So...

Always leave them wanting more
Leave your legacy in a puddle on the floor
I know everything you're supposed to say
I know I'm funny, that wont make this go away
Always leave...
