List of Demands

Can you go to bed hating everything
I do
I read the news
Stories of how so many lose
Conspiratorial, dick editorials
Tell me who to hate
And who should get my love
I thought of giving
This passioning for right living up
Be a nice outlaw Huck
In a black truck, gas chewer
Play an angry truth spewer
I wanted most and got fewer
Thread nothing through this needle
You mad
'cause we actin' like we regal, old chap
Is it an act or is it a fact
That we can claim pain and suffering
Taking your days left and number them

I am
Not your
Fallback plan
Nor your
Un-played hand
Or/on your
List of demands

I used to like pretty
But it don't go with gritty like I need it to
So I can't feed you
All the knowledge you've been eating
Unless you're getting in this mud with me
We both know
It's such a pity that it's come to this
Preening at parties ain't a legitimate use of my time
And I won't ask you to excuse me if I'm out of line
Don't need permission
Crash your exhibition
Who's the star
This competition's gone too far for attention
It's both our faults
We inflicted plenty of open wounds
Poured in the salt
And it didn't make it taste better
Scrunch up my face
This wilting under pressure is a
Romantic waste

I am
Not your
Fallback plan
Nor your
Un-played hand
Or/on your
List of demands

Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the sweat
Thank you for the tears
Thank you for the mud
Thank you for the ache
Thank you for the pains
Thank you for the love
Thank you for the broken bones
Thank you for the weight
Thank you for the no's
Thank you for the fights
Thank you for the ghosts
Thank you for the scars
Thank you for the words
That you never even said
Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the sweat
Thank you for the tears
Thank you for the mud
Thank you for the ache
Thank you for the pains
Thank you for the love
Thank you for the broken bones
Thank you for the weight
Thank you for the no's
Thank you for the fights
Thank you for the ghosts
Thank you for the scars
Thank you for the words
That you never even said
