Wearing Influences On Our Sleeve-Less T-Shirts

When you fought

You sunk like a stone

But that's not why you came here

And that's not while we'll go

You were sold

And you were bought

And you were blamed

When they forgot

But you can choose

Just how you fall

You can choose how to lose it all

But it's nothing I miss

But I liked how you hit me

And I liked how you quit

But you're not the same

You changed your name

You didn't just switch teams

You left the game

And now we're done

With shaking hands

Because we're strangers now

And we'll just have to pretend

We're honest

We're honest

We're honest when we tell lies

We're lying

We're lying when we don't mind

We're tired

We're tired of all the jokes

Our progress

Our progress is too damn slow

I left my home and woke up cold

The floors were pale, the walls had holes

The air was thick, the beds were wrecked

I tried to call, but there was nothing left

I wish I could say that it was all okay

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay

I was finally told

That's not why you came here

And that's not why you'll go

You were taught to turn them down

To make the most of what you found

But I was raised to pave the way

And to spend whatever it takes
