Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

lyrics

they never told me about the part
about the hidden clause
yeah when i took this job
where you crawl so far in
a scratch beneath your skin
in an effort to be authentic

you cut the flow with a tourniquet of lies
it's starting to hurt
it's starting to hurt
it's starting to hurt on the inside

pleased to meet you you're a bit too close
you shake hands with your host
and it turns out it's your own ghost
sounded good at least on paper
till a few pages later
we are drowning in the inkwell

you're on your way to somewhere else
just like everybody else
if the people that you meet are sad
keep your heart towards the stars
remember they are never far
and sometimes they might kiss you back
