The Ballad Of G And X // Interlude

(album: Death Of An Optimist - 2020)

I talk to X he tell me that he's always watching
He put a hex up on my soul to keep me locked in
I keep on looking at world like I'm an optimist
He says "We can't go back there ain't no way of stopping this"
I say the truth will always make it through the winter
He tells me history is written by the victor
It's poison
Yeahhh poison
I wanna live for something
I wanna die for something
He makes me cry for nothing, says that I'm a dime a dozen
I wanna write the song to help you start the revolution
He wanna see you next to me in public execution
Poison
Yeahhh poison

And I watch these birds fly
And I cry why can't I why can't I
And I watch these birds fly
And I cry why can't I why can't I
I wanna be the change, I try to make my feelings vocal
He's in my head he makes me sick he makes me antisocial
I try to do my part, I vote I sign all the petitions
He tells that there ain't no way that imma make a difference
Losing my mind I wanna find a way to keep composure
He gets me high he tell me lies I think he's taking over
I try to close my eyes I'm haunted in my nightmares
I'm quite scared
I look to the left and I find him right there
It's poison!
Yeahhh poison

And I watch these birds fly
And I cry why can't I why can't I
And I watch these birds fly
And I cry why can't I why can't I
