May Not (Want Me)
I tried to sell my soul today
I tried to sell my soul today
Thought "What's the harm in lying, especially if it pays?"
And let the bastards in my brain
As the gloss I'd been avoiding all these years
Sent the bile rising straight up to my ears
I tried to sell my soul today
I tried to sell my soul today
Pride aside, I came to play
Pride aside, I came to play
Did my research for the day
But when the time came I missed my aim
Feral charges lurk in darkness as we play
Waiting for the perfect moment to escape
Pride aside, I came to play
Pride aside, I came to play
As I left it started raining
I had no help 'til the end
And the one who shared my burden
Was neither family nor friend
As a voice shot through the darkness
Pregnant with an unjust rage
Piano wafted up the basement steps to greet the rain
Though we reached the same conclusion in our minds
They said their peace before I could say mine
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You had your reasons
Was I to blame?
You may not want me, I can't complain
Noticed there were more on stage than in the crowd
Noticed there were more on stage than in the crowd
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
I tried to sell my soul today
Thought "What's the harm in lying, especially if it pays?"
And let the bastards in my brain
As the gloss I'd been avoiding all these years
Sent the bile rising straight up to my ears
I tried to sell my soul today
I tried to sell my soul today
Pride aside, I came to play
Pride aside, I came to play
Did my research for the day
But when the time came I missed my aim
Feral charges lurk in darkness as we play
Waiting for the perfect moment to escape
Pride aside, I came to play
Pride aside, I came to play
As I left it started raining
I had no help 'til the end
And the one who shared my burden
Was neither family nor friend
As a voice shot through the darkness
Pregnant with an unjust rage
Piano wafted up the basement steps to greet the rain
Though we reached the same conclusion in our minds
They said their peace before I could say mine
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You had your reasons
Was I to blame?
You may not want me, I can't complain
Noticed there were more on stage than in the crowd
Noticed there were more on stage than in the crowd
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
You may not want me, I can't complain
