The Waste

Entrance slo-mo
Can't drop that sales pitch fast enough
Candy from a baby
You hold your head up high

Your confidence belies
The truth you know inside
That every single line you just delivered is a lie
That twinkle in your eye
A dangled shiny prize
No way they realize you won't deliver

You with your veiled disguise
You look into their eyes
You fill their heads with lies until they're signing on the line
It's all been heard before
But you can offer more
Just give me all you've got
And let me show you through the door

Impress no one
Your failure can't come fast enough
Belle with no ball y'all
Yet you hold your head up high

You tell yourself the lie
You know it deep inside
You think you can't be found but now there's nowhere else to hide
And now it's fight or flight
With no win left in sight
You're shouting at the world and no one's listening

You with your veiled disguise
You look into their eyes
You fill their heads with lies until they're signing on the line
It's all been heard before
But you can offer more
Just give me all you've got
And let me show you through the door

I just wanted one taste
Of that sweet life

You tell yourself the lie
You know it deep inside
You think you can't be found but now there's nowhere else to hide
And now it's fight or flight
With no win left in sight
You're shouting at the world and no one's listening

You with your veiled disguise
You look into their eyes
You fill their heads with lies until they're signing on the line
It's all been heard before
But you can offer more
Just give me all you've got and let me show you through the door
With your big street cred
I heard the words you said
You got into my head and then you took my cash and fled
You're such a huge disgrace
But the egg is on my face
I wanted just a taste, but in the end it's just a waste
