Thankless Task

[Verse 1]
You can brace yourself for it
But never ignore it away got to go stop
There are hints of forgiveness
You can stand as your witness but they will let you drop

[Chorus]
And they don't even see the betrayal
That you trip on the light rail
And you feel you owe too much to even ask
What a thankless task

[Verse 2]
They all want you to call them
Convince them that they're really there, solid real
They all wanna be near you
Hoping something will rub off that they can touch feel

[Chorus]
And you don't even know what they say
You just hope that it comes in your head
And it makes you want to just look back and laugh
What a thankless task, thankless task
Thankless task, thankless task, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
You push buttons and pull pumps
But don't know what comes out in the end
And it never stops there's always a price on your head
Where in the world will it end?
Will they ever let it drop?

[Chorus]
And you don't even see the betrayal
As you trip on the light rail
And you feel you owe too much to even ask
What a thankless task, thankless task
Thankless task, thankless task
What a thankless task
