"Wearing Influences On Our Sleeve-less T-Shirts"
When you fought
You sunk like a stone
But that's not why you came here
And that's not while we'll go
You were sold
And you were bought
And you were blamed
When they forgot
But you can choose
Just how you fall
You can choose how to lose it all
But it's nothing I miss
But I liked how you hit me
And I liked how you quit
But you're not the same
You changed your name
You didn't just switch teams
You left the game
And now we're done
With shaking hands
Because we're strangers now and we'll just have to pretend
We're honest
We're honest
We're honest when we tell lies
We're lying
We're lying when we don't mind
We're tired
We're tired of all the jokes
Our progress
Our progress is too damn slow
I left my home and woke up cold
The floors were pale, the walls had holes
The air was thick, the beds were wrecked
I tried to call, but there was nothing left
I wish I could say that it was all okay
Okay
Okay
Okay
Okay
I was finally told
That's not why you came here
And that's not why you'll go
You were taught to turn them down
To make the most of what you found
But I was raised to pave the way
And to spend whatever it takes
