Veteran

This is a whisper into your satellite dish
This is a death threat in cross stitch and I demand a hostage
And then I want a motor boat
And then Ill let your hostage go.
Its like life is a death bound train
And every day is just a stop along the way
And every era is the modern age for the people in it
Every prayer is paramount for the owner of the steepled fingers
I knew better but
Id hope for better boy
Boy Id hope for better than this
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives
No matter what she forgives
And I knew better but
Id hope for better boy
Boy Id hope for better than this
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives...
Like opportunity knocks
Misfortunell pick that lock
And pick your pockets
Pick your poison boys, and here Ill pick it for ya
Sure your habit dies hard
But your bottle kills easy
See me cut my Coke with Captain
My Captain with Ron Diaz
Mind if you dont cut when
Hes been good to me how he has,
You dont cut when
Hes been good to me,
Princeton Minnesota
And to everybody talkin bout my tits
I guess that its because you cant find **** to diss
About the way that I spit
I blow (?_________?_________?)
Another fill you couldnt cop
Ive got **** to do in ProTools
While youre ****** around in photoshop
The road dont stop, while you got off
To take a breather, either Im an
Over-eager emo alcoholic with a
Nice chest and a press list
Or maybe you just jealous
I knew better but
Id hope for better boy
Boy Id hope for better than this
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives
No matter what she forgives
And I knew better but
Id hope for better boy
Boy Id hope for better than this
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives
Shake me, and hear the filament rattle, awake and
Save me, from this bit of the battle
My pride is like an ember in my chest that sets my breath to burning
So youll forgive me if a tongue is in the cheek Im turning
Hurts me just to think of one more curtsy for the king
These knees dont bend easy please receive me on my feet
I pull my shadow off the street, retreat
Believe me you dont want to follow me,
These hollow dreams
That walk around in full-color 3D
Just to see how petty the daily drama and diorama really can be
Ill pull a Peter Pan and set ya free,
When you can see what you can do for me cause
A quiet night before the crackle of my fuse lit,
A vocal booth is just another padded room , ****
A quiet night before the crackle of my fuse lit,
A vocal booth is just another padded room, kid
Put all your words away, for all the noise you make
Put all your words away, for all...
I knew better but
Id hope for better boy
Boy Id hope for better than this
A veteran never forgets no matter what she forgives.
