Between The Rocks

(album: The Theory Of Whatever - 2022)

Selling gold years ago
It's written on the backdrop
Any time you take a tumble
Kicking from the mascot
Passed up masochist for cocaine
Jacked up, stealing the cold harbour blame
Like I don't feel the same
Like I don't feel the same anymore (anymore)

Steel the will
Catching feels
Looking like I'm tanked up
Any time you see me be a has-been, I'm a has but
The only prime time is the one in my brain
Jacked up taking the white heart again
Like I don't feel the shame
Like I don't feel the pain anymore

Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well I tried to stop
I swear my dear and press restart
Well this time I fear
To hold you close
Or we'll go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places

Still find answers to uninvited guests
Uninspired gab but you're giving it your best
Kinda hard to find the real in a room of plagiarists
Everything I write, I feel another vibe ripped
Bleeps skipped, repackaged and shipped
Polished shit is still shit nonetheless (get it?)
When you want it, when you got it, when you need
When the only one you loved has disappeared from your feed
Because, no telling what the tide will bring
No telling me that shit, you bet your life on it
I been in and out the back
Since before she went black
Since before they turned around and sold her plaques for it
Yeah
No kidding what a way to make a living
Revolving in a door that will never stop spinning
And it's cynics, critics and half-cut mimics
Tickets and bigots
They're thick as thieves for the winning
And it's

Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well I tried to stop
I swear my dear and press restart
Well this time I fear
To hold you close
Or we'll go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places

(Between the rocks and the hard places)

But still I keep writing with obsession
Only look away for a second cos I
Worry I will miss you looking back
And the memories will fade
If the pages are not written
And that's how I know I'm no different
And that's how I know I haven't changed
And that's how a couple thousand records
Can turn platinum in a couple days
'Cause I'm still in that very moment
I'm just a thousand miles away
Too caught up to be broken
And too let down to be played
And I said thank you for that moment
And I will thank you one day
Yeah I'm a thank you for that moment
Between the rock and the hard place

Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well I tried to stop
I swear my dear and press restart
Well this time I fear
To hold you close
Or we'll go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places

Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well I try to stop
I swear my dear and press restart
Well this time I fear
To hold you close
Or we'll go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places
