Lasting Friend

(album: Ode To Artifice - 2019)

I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my
I'm not ashamed of my past

I'm gonna keep saying that
I'm gonna keep saying
I'm gonna keep saying that

Dylan, Phil and Brian, Len and them
They used to line up in the gym
And touch my boobs each day at noon
I still feel your sweaty hands on them
So I'm pulling on my dress
But I'll forget about it soon

I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my past
I'm not ashamed of my
I'm not ashamed of my past

It's just a party trick
It's just a party trick
It's just a party trick
And if you're playing to win
Well, if you're playing to
Then you're playing to win

Dylan, Phil and Brian, Len and them
I tried to tell them in the gym
That I was monstrous
And still from the jury they attest
Into the well beneath my chest
You are a monster, yes

Dylan, Phil and Brian, still, and Len
They brandish me like one of them
Come over after class
If this is how you make a lasting friend
I don't much mind the imminent
I'll be ashamed of my past
