The Hard Sell

[Verse 1]
I'm paranoid and sick of this
World's misconception of things I did
My language poured across this wrist
In a metaphoric disaster
My guess, I'm missing half the punch line
Unless this hanging noose is fitted to be all mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

[Chorus]
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in

[Interlude]
(There's never enough)
(There's never enough)
Oh, you're selling out to be in
(There's never enough cool for all...)

[Verse 2]
These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart
Their ears forsaken have given up on art
Now, why believe in anything they praise
When one hand holds them the victor while the other holds the shovel to their grave?

[Pre-Chorus]
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

[Chorus]
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, this ticket window has closed
Save your money, baby, the next show's about to start
Where else can you get to watch this talent fall
One by one, they drop

[Pre-Chorus]
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

[Chorus]
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out
You're selling all of me
For too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in

[Outro]
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
