Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed, nothing's right
He has no sense of pride, sees no respect in his parents eyes
And why should he care? No one ever cared for him
Wasting her nights and days, sixteen with a child
God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame and that impurity made her bed
No fuckin'choice, she took two lives instead
All these worthless nights, all these wasted days
Down the path I follow you because who am I? Denial
I still care but it's my life in despair laughing
Harder in self-concious I've played my last solitaire
That shirt's too tight to wear
Wasting my nights and my days, nothing's changed, nothing's right
I know I'm not exactly the parents guide to living
But it's the road less traveled in this world so unforgiving
And I've lost count of scoreWhy do you always wrongly assume
That you're so well aware of what's happ'ning there,
Right here in this room?
You're just an antenna, you're just a wire.
There's a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight,
And you turn around and you call me a liar.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She stay out my way, it's the pulse I am aligned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
Well, you're just an antenna, you're just a code.
You translate like a book, the fuses all cook.
You eat humble pie and it tastes of the road.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, that's the way, that's the fate I am resigned to.
And everything you say, you'll need that breath one day.
You're just an antenna, you're just a gauge.
You disturb my slumber and round up the numbers
And put them inside your velvety cage.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
She say, make my day, and the sunlight will not blind you.
Lightly babe, oh the fine lights cannot find you.
I may never pray to the fortune that's behind you.
