Politix

[Verse 1]
He's off again
New blood is eating out his palm again
Mixed up in metaphors and confidence
Reading the room is like a party trick
And then he's on his way out
Yeah, he's on his way out

[Verse 2]
It's all pretend
He makes a fuss and then he finds the next
He pops a pill and takes the side effects
Talks in a circle 'til I'm two percent
And then he's on his way out

[Chorus]
Am I wrong, to think that I could be the one?
To think I might be onto something?
I gave your words all the weight in the world
And now I don't know who to trust
I did my best to hear you out
And now I'm drowning in the doubt
I gave you every piece of my love
Oh, will it ever be enough?

[Verse 3]
Oh, Mr. On The Fence
That's what they call him down in Oregon
The trust fund babies and the college kids
Gaslight the room and call it common sense (It's obvious)
It's politix
I guess I never was supposed to win
My pretty little bones were never made for it
I could take a bite, I couldn't stomach it
I wish that I'd have known it before

[Chorus]
Am I wrong, to think that I could be the one?
To think I might be onto something?
I gave your words all the weight in the world
And now I don't know who to trust
I did my best to hear you out
And now I'm drowning in the doubt
I gave you every piece of my love
Oh, will it ever be enough?

[Bridge]
I gave you every word that I put on the page
I gave you every smile on a tired face
I gave you every dream I was dreaming about
You only gave me reasons to doubt myself
And even when it works, yeah, it's never enough
And even when it hurts, you say "Toughen up"
I bet you when it's good, you'll be there in the frame
And when you see it crash, you'll be out of state

[Outro]
I can't play again, I never win
My cynicism is kicking in
I can't be to blame, walls closing in
It's imminent, I'm over it
