Waves of promise
are spilling over
out of the cauldron that
you once spoke from
now your words have
become a jukebox
the songs recycled
you beg for quarters
but I cant hear you
youre too loud for me
and when you whisper, well
you just bore me
but just keep talking
I need the company
and maybe someday
Ill tell you just what youve become
But youll never love what you become
cause you cant love what you once hated,
youll never love what you become
You say youre straight
as a brick wall
and your intentions
are pure as snowfall
but I see your eyes
and theyre as crooked
as a city skyline,
you wrote the book on it
Ive been reading and
Ive been turning
these scattered pages
and Ive been learning that
what comes down to just
a few seconds can
make the difference
between what you are and what youll become
But youll never love what you become
cause you cant love what you once hated,
youll never love what you become
First impressions are
always lasting and
my lifes movie is
always casting so
pick your new role
as an extra and
earn your paycheck,
just fcking stay there and
Maybe one day
well both look back at this
and then Ill say
what a good friend youve been
If thats the case its
such a disgrace
to hear myself say that
I really hate what Ive become
But youll never love what you become
cause you cant love what you once hated,
youll never love what you become
