lyrics

Love is just a word that's used to gauge reaction
While hate is just a word that's used for gaining traction
Now but tell me what a man's got to do to gain one over you

Insane's a word that stains and scars and picks it's victims
Prescription pills could fix it all but the effects are always interim
They'll call your shots and you'll call mine
Someday I'll find me something I can choose

They'll prey upon our hopes and fears with nothing left to lose
Expectations are nothing more than mutual abuse
They'll call you for a favor when you're hanging from the gallows to cut them loose

This pettiness is all that's pure it's surely untainted
Well I see a red door
What do they want it painted
Misfortunes always come in threes so nothing ever comes out of the blue

They'll praise you for your misplaced trust
It keeps them going
They'll haze you just for wising up when you see the floor is bowing
Ostracize you to all extents then sympathize with what your going through

They'll prey upon our hopes and fears with nothing left to lose
Expectations are nothing more than mutual abuse
They'll call you for a favor when you're hanging from the gallows to cut them loose

They'll prey upon our hopes and fears with nothing left to lose
Expectations are nothing more than mutual abuse
They'll call you for a favor when you're hanging from the gallows to cut them loose

Oh well they'll call you for a favor to cut them loose
