An Acre Lost

(album: Texis - 2021)

Oh the first day Sunday
Feels like some other life
The dark wake of a troubled heart
Wretched is rad, yeah, a cool new way of life
Where are the real tough kids?
Just tragically die

Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else

An acre lost taken away
An acre gained but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost fading away
An acre gained the jokes on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake

I can see the exit signs
Right behind your eyes
I can see the thunder clouds come rolling in
And all the real tough kids with high IQ's
Tragically die, tragically

Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else

An acre lost taken away
An acre gained but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost fading away
An acre gained the jokes on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake

Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Carry strength and blow it away
Blow it away

An acre lost taken away
An acre gained but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost fading away
An acre gained the jokes on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
