lyrics

Forgive me if I tune out of your
Boring one way conversation
Your ego stroking, franchise forming
Sad attempts at manipulation
They leave a bitter taste upon my tongue
And now I'm licking wallpaper and chewing gum
To sell some
Trust none
To sell some

I never new life
Could be like this
In a broken light
Ruled by objects
I never new life
Where simple concepts
Caused such a fight
Hit the reset
Ha

Believe me when I try to tell you
You need this bullshit that I'm trying to sell you
Whatever it is that you think that you don't have
Well I'm gonna package it up with a cool hand
Then leave my bitter taste upon your tongue
So you'll be licking wallpaper and chewing gum
To sell some
Trust none
To sell some

I never new life
Could be like this
The flourish or the plight
Stacked by interests
I never new life
In this context
so self justified
Hit the reset
Ha

You’re moving colours and music
To tell me a story
About how you've got something special
just for me
Distracting my senses and pitching a new dream
I'm taking your lunch money now to buy ice cream
That leaves a bittersweet taste upon my tongue
Until I'm licking wallpaper and chewing gum
To sell some
Trust none
To sell some

I never new life
Could be like this
In a broken light
Ruled by objects
I never new life
Where simple concepts
Caused such a fight
Hit the reset
Ha

I never new life
Could be like this
You say you're on my side
I should try this
I contemplate
And sure, I might like this
But with truce denied
Nothing's righteous
I never new life could be like this
I never new life could be like this
