The Stickler

Lyrics

[Intro: Andrew Wells & Jon Mess] The pen and pad that assembled my life Was just a rag in an oil field I could grab any word like a knife But when I stab, I annoy you [Verse 1: Jon Mess] Paralyzed, a barrel pointing at the page Asking for a chapter The perils in the careful Am I getting weak? Can't I do this faster? The torrent of average little stanzas that came I ain't got a secret, bitch Just make yourself a slave [Chorus: Andrew Wells] There's no peace for me I'm your medicine Can you tell me what you want that's bettеr than There's no end to this I'm your Sisyphus Can you tеll me what you want from me that's better than this? Where's my sanctuary? Pushing up this hill is getting pretty fucking old [Verse 2: Jon Mess, Andrew Wells, Will Swan, All] Showering, empowering Devouring until I feel complete Aspiring, acquiring Conspiring until I can defeat Summon up the beast, let him off the leash Alt, control, delete Born into the spawn, terraform Throw the ring away, go back to the shire [Refrain: Andrew Wells & Jon Mess] You're so righteous and patronising (Born into the spawn) Wave goodbye while your life's capsizing (Summon up the beast) What's beyond the black hole? (Let him off the leash) While we lose all control? [Breakdown: Jon Mess] Vines Weaving through the slain They wanted the best in the business We're showing our age Hell of a weight on the reins Hell of a way to the grave Hell of a favor to give what's intended And stick to the principle, man [Chorus: Andrew Wells] There's no peace for me I'm your medicine Can you tell me what you want that's better than There's no end to this I'm your Sisyphus Can you tell me what you want from me that's better than this? Where's my sanctuary? Pushing up this hill is getting pretty fucking old [Interlude: Andrew Wells, Jon Mess & Both] Okay Jon, so yeah, yeah show me this part you got Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we're gonna go with "I think I'm ready to get out of my cage, should I try?" "Try to rescue who?" Okay, low? Both go down Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, okay And then the second part it's like, we're both together "It ain't nothing but a happy meal in a cup, I'm fake laughing at the cra-" Okay, yeah, yeah Sick, yeah, yeah Sounds good together It's super beefed up, I knew it would be cool Alright, yeah, let's try it out [Outro: Andrew Wells & Jon Mess] I think I'm ready to get out of my cage Should I try? Who needs to rescue who? I think I'm ready to grow out of the rage So I bathed and God made me choose It ain't nothing but a happy meal in a cup I'm fake laughing at the crappy feel in my gut I think I'm wise when I'm wearing the guise Either close to being savvy Or I'm ruining my life Am I done?
