Lifer Lyrics

Don't know quite what you mean to me
I try to voice my concerns
I carried you so many times
One day I hope you'll learn

Accept this is not who you are
You need to try and provide
Your arrogance stops you hearing me
How was I to keep this in?

So go back to your funerals
The pleasures have no meaning
You have your pride to feel at all
So crawl away the ambiance
Of something that needs soothing
Such courtesies will still befall

The dungeons that we're into
I follow with ambition
At no expense of who I am
It's colder where you're seated
A God just stands holed up with you
And you admit it if it helped

I try to make you see reason
I try to make you see sense
My world turns, for around you
Your vanity is too immense

You like getting attention
No ideal, nothing's good
Yet you'll come to me to protect you
I don't want to anymore

I can't deny it's getting to me
I can't deny I doubt you'll change
At least my values are strong enough
I'll be here when you're gone, I'm a lifer
