My name is a candid joke, a punchline for all the rest

I'm put off by your duplicitous cackles, is that your best?

And some may call it survival, but I just call it a flog

In the end its just wasted effort, there's nobody I can trust

And I give, and I give, but you fail me

God, how much did they pay for your spine?

Was it worth all the love you've so inclined?

And did you ever think of how I felt in time?

You sell your soul, thinking your wit is for sale

So bow your head, and take your vanity tithe

Every breath you take is a snowball leading to chaos

And every time, I'm thinking how it's so profoundly bleak and bewildering how all of this came

my way, when it feels like all I ever did was exist

Don't you mistaken all my silence for some odd mercy

It's just my way of keeping the bridges sound and sturdy

Just right before I mend the timber, loosely and loft

And amidst watching the embers dance, you'll know just what you lost

And I give, and I give, but you fail me

God, how much did they pay for your spine?

Was it worth all the love you've so inclined?

And did you ever think of how I felt in time?

You sell your soul, thinking your wit is for sale

So bow your head, and take your vanity tithe

Every breath you take is a snowball leading to chaos

And every time, I'm thinking how it's so profoundly bleak and bewildering how all of this came

my way, when it feels like all I ever did was exist

Yeah!

And I give, and I give, but you fail me

God, how much did they pay for your spine?

Was it worth all the love you've so inclined?

And did you ever think of how I felt in time?

You sell your soul, thinking your wit is for sale

So bow your head, and take your vanity tithe

Every breath you take is a snowball leading to chaos

And every time, I'm thinking how it's so profoundly bleak and bewildering how all of this came

my way, when it feels like all I ever did was exist

Yeah, and all I ever did was exist...
