Tetherball

(álbum: ROACH - 2023)

I'm not careful enough
I keep tearing through love
Like a tetherball swinging 'til it's all tangled up
Whipping through the air 'til I'm stuck

I go through life like an eight ball
'Til the powder stains the table
And I can read the price tag but keep scraping off the label
Telling myself that I'm stable

Laugh it off
Say I'm fine
Cause it's harder to get better
Than to lie lie lie

Drinking Mexican coke
Sitting on the sidewalk to smoke
Cane sugar steadies me and tells me a joke
Is life everything that you hoped?

Laugh it off
Say I'm fine
Cause it's harder to get better
Than to lie lie lie

Cause it's harder to get better
Than to lie lie lie

Cause it's harder to get better
It's just easier to lie

Sitting in your car
Curled up like a roach in the dark
Telling you the truth as the curtain slowly parts
Asking for another start
Asking for another start
