lyrics

Don't forget what they say
about the sword and the pen
they frame it in a way
that works for them
so they gave you a sword
they don't tell you what it's for
some people hide it under the bed
and others by the door

Sit on the throne
the unfortunate king
the blade above is sharp
and dangling
and the string is worn
too many fibers torn
should it fall on your head
it won't damage the floor

it's what you call a hidden cost
they sell you the lock but not the box
and always in the name
of someone else to blame

there's a jug full of water
for those that need to drink
there's a blanket on the ground
for an offering
there's some eyes that used to see
there's a mouth that used to eat
but the thirst never stops
and they want you thirsty

gave you anything you ever wanted in your life
a house, a car, a job, whatever you like
gave you anything you ever wanted
ya that's true
they'd never hurt a nice guy like you
know exactly what it is your going through
