Dunsel - Protest The Hero[00:00:01]
And when the underworld's[00:00:13]
Best kept secrets[00:00:16]
Saw it's own reflection[00:00:17]
I knew things had finally changed[00:00:19]
For better or worse[00:00:22]
Whatever as always[00:00:24]
Midlife fires start to burn[00:00:27]
They burn down our worn protection[00:00:29]
I won't take pictures from their frame[00:00:32]
Whatever as always[00:00:35]
When the hands that sold me everything[00:00:38]
Slapped a price tag on my chest[00:00:41]
Bit my tongue and shut my mouth[00:00:46]
Tried to blend in with the rest[00:00:49]
But I'm a square peg[00:00:52]
I'm a sore thumb[00:00:57]
And it seems to me self apathy[00:01:00]
Kills the life in artistry[00:01:04]
Ankle deep in industry[00:01:07]
All these songs sound so damn good[00:01:41]
Even if their meaning's hollow[00:01:44]
Hollow words dry out your mouth[00:01:47]
You might find it hard to swallow[00:01:50]
All this shit that we keep feeding[00:01:53]
To keep ourselves and you believing[00:01:56]
That no money can change us[00:01:59]
Then a door opens up and some devil persuades us[00:02:01]
The songs we sung when we were just young[00:02:05]
Have all but lost their meaning[00:02:11]
But there's still a few things[00:02:15]
Still a few things[00:02:17]
Still a few things[00:02:19]
That we keep on believing[00:02:20]
Still a few things[00:02:22]
There's still a few things[00:02:23]
That we keep on believing[00:02:26]
Shitty music just ain't worth making[00:02:40]
Smiles and thank-you's just ain't worth faking[00:02:43]
Some assholes' hands ain't worth shaking[00:02:46]
And if it's not broken we need to break it[00:02:49]
There's no such thing as unconditional[00:02:52]
Though contracts bind you in the end[00:02:56]
Make no mistake this is a killing ground[00:03:00]
Blood hungry and camouflaged as friend[00:03:03]
Select yes[00:03:07]
At the end of this mess[00:03:11]
If you get there[00:03:13]
And if it's your only f**king option left[00:03:16]
These days I don't know[00:03:20]
The people I'm supposed to trust[00:03:22]
And I don't trust these people[00:03:26]
That I'm supposed to know[00:03:29]
The handlebars on my dreams they slowly start to rust[00:03:32]
They'll take everything and somehow you still owe[00:03:38]
And as the cocaine cowboys finally get their wings[00:03:44]
And sell them all for blow[00:03:51]
These days I don't know these people[00:03:54]
That I'm supposed to trust[00:03:55]
And I don't trust these motherf**kers[00:03:57]
That I'm supposed to know[00:03:58]
These handlebars on all my dreams they slowly start to rust[00:04:00]
The cocaine cowboys finally get their wings[00:04:03]
And they sell them all for blow[00:04:06]
They finally get their wings[00:04:08]
And then they sell them all for blow[00:04:09]
I make music for myself not for hand jobs[00:04:11]
From the upper-tier or their undeserved wealth[00:04:15]
Here's to their failing f**king health[00:04:17]
I don't mean this in a hateful way [00:04:30]
But when the people you love start walking away[00:04:33]
The walls get tighter each and every day[00:04:36]
Take your last bite before it crumbles away[00:04:39]
And there's something inside me I just have to say[00:04:42]
Love nothing[00:04:45]
Trust no one[00:04:46]
Just live for the motherf**king day[00:04:47]
