Exposition

I'll trade you my last cigarette
If you trade me what is left of all their dignity

Maybe they will feel a little better
If we say that we are even now
But they still are theives

It's only you and me against
The fattened calf of atrophy today

Yea it's only you and me against
The ones who so ungracefully have aged

Father, step in closer
Put your arm around her shoulder
Cover them colorful blues

Keep the children smiling
Can you make it look exciting?
Just force it if they still refuse

It's a shame that we can't follow them to hell
And tuck them in and softly say goodnight

But I'm content to shout it from above
So you can send my love to all of your
Old friends

So here's to you and me
And here's to dignity and wishing them the best

So cheers to you and me
And here's to empathy from my last cigarette

Come and look at father
With your eyes a little softer
Now, focus and focus some more

If you let me fix the lighting
I can make it feel inviting
To the bitter and angry in all

Father, step in closer
Put your arm around her shoulder
All covered in bruises myself

And the fight is nearly over
Just a little more exposure
It's perfect for everyone else
