Devon Halliday - Best Bet

I will blow my paycheck at the farmer's market
I will carry baskets home
Farm-fresh eggs for breakfast, dirty heads of lettuce
I'll dress up in summer clothes
And if you wanna call on me I swear I'll be alone

I've been running circles, Sisyphean uphills
I've been rivals with the road
Man I'm still unpacking baggage from the last unmasking
Cut the leash on losses, let 'em go
And everything I say I've said a million times before

But this time is gonna stick to me
Therapy's convincing me I just have it in for me
I'm not a victim, I'm part of a system of cells
And we're not doing too well
Cannons aimed at myself in case I risk it all

I will settle all my debts and I'll throw out expired checks
And I'll be careful with the rest
I'll be introspective
All my habits stand corrective
Tucking in the edges of the mess
And if you never call again it's probably for the best

I will water plants and I'll put on real pants
And I'll invest in loose-leaf tea
I'll forget your birthday, spend it like a normal workday
You will check your phone and think of me
And how in love I used to be

Cuz this time is gonna stick to me
Therapy's convincing me I just have it in for me
I'm not a victim, I'm part of a system of cells
And we're not doing too well
Cannons aimed at myself in case I risk it all

You're my best bet
All's not lost yet
You're nice and you said I should make then lie in this bed
You're my best bet
All's not lost yet
You're nice and you said I should make then lie in this bed

Still narcissistic
Mildly fetishistic
Paint your pedestal in rose
String of sorry lovers
Danger to myself and others
Shouldn't use my teeth to pull you close
But you're so distant when I don't

This time is gonna stick to me
Therapy's convincing me I just have it in for me
I'm not a victim, I'm part of a system of cells
And we're not doing too well
Cannons aimed at myself in case I risk it all

(You're my best bet
All's not lost yet
You're nice and you said, I should make then lie in this bed)
