Day-Glow Foxes - On the Ropes

Am I just stuck with you now
Or are you stuck with me?
I've spent a lifetime wondering
When you'd just let me be
Why would I bother trying?
It's surely doomed to fail
A ship collapsing in the docks
Before it can set sail
Swallow pride as prescribed
Wash it down with all of the solutions I have tried
Hearts beat out of phase
Drifting through the day in a prophetic haze
I'm always on the ropes
With a soapbox megaphone fanatic
And a pariah with a flair for the traumatic
With bloodstains on his clothes
You always look so pained when
The lies split your lips
I'm sure you try to stop them
But they slip
Yeah, they slip
I'm done pretending it's fine
Go choke for all I care
While I prepare to skip town
Change my name and cut my hair
Swallow pride as prescribed
Wash it down with all of the solutions I have tried
Hearts beat out of phase
Drifting through the day in a prophetic haze
I'm always on the ropes
With a soapbox megaphone fanatic
And a pariah with a flair for the traumatic
With bloodstains on his clothes
I've gone from second best to always next to last
So if you're gonna break me down you'd better make it fast
I've gone from second best to always next to last
So if you're gonna break me down you'd better make it fast
Hearts beat out of phase
Drifting through the day in a prophetic haze
I'm always on the ropes
With a soapbox megaphone fanatic
And a pariah with a flair for the traumatic
With bloodstains on his clothes
