The ninth track from the upcoming full length release "Bridges, Matches & Gasoline" on Dead Broke Records.
lyrics
I've taken a deep look into shallow eyes
And what I've seen and the lack of what I've found
Should come as no surprise
The self aggrandizing
Thinly cloaked by posturing
Self deprecation as just a means of validation
Are we all victims in this game?
Do we even get a choice if we want to play?
There's got to be a better way
I've heard what they say about books and covers
And looking into others
But I won't force depth where there is none
What have we changed?
The interior is still the same
Just the external's rearranged
Different costume same old game
And we reward the vain
We weren't supposed to be the same
What have we changed?
Congratulations on what you see in the mirror
But I can see you clearer than that empty image that you portray
You're just lost and looking to feel okay
It's presumptuous to say
We don't all get caught in the game
