Patterns - Pool Kids

I’ve been watching you

And it’s a pretty dance you often do, it rings a bell front row and center pew

And I can taste them, the edges of your words are trimmed in gold and separated

into verses in the back of my tongue

And I see ashes on your forehead that aren’t there but I’ve got rug burns on my

knees, itching underneath tight denim

You’re no different than you’re enemy

This is not a competition, but i see you in the corner of my eye you’re keeping

score

You’re no better than this

This is a show that i’ve seen before

I’ve seen both sides and i recognize these patterns

And it’s in your head, and it’s in your head, and it’s in your head

It was always there and it’s in there now and it always will be

It’s not their fault, no it’s not their fault, no it’s no ones fault

It was in your head, it’s all in your head, and it’s here to stay

And i spent one too many nights banging my head against the wall to hear

another voice telling me that i’m doing something wrong

So excommunicate me

You’re no better than the fucked up doctrine that sent me running to your

doorstep in the first place

I knew better than this

You’re better than this

You’re better

I knew better than this
