Nobody Wins At The Laundromat

(album: The Holiday Has Been Cancelled - 2000)

When you think that you know someone
They claim to be your friend
A blackened wick is all that remains
When the verdict has been said

With no legs left to stand on
No truth to call your own
Like a tired soldier slowly dying
The gun that fired the shot was your own

Now I see you lying in the bed you chose to make
Backstabber how's it feel now to live the life
I've always known was fake

Trying harder just to realize
What the hell was going on
I saw you looking in the shadows
Don't you know I'm strong?

I've got my own intuitions
I've got my own beliefs
And when you try to toy with nature
You'll be falling with the leaves

And now it's all beginning
Sail the ship you chose to build
You won't see me crying
Washed my hands clean
And now I see you lying in the bed you chose to make
Backstabber how's it feel now to live the life
That I've always known was fake
