High Regard

Barter and trade, always passive-aggressive

In spite of who you say you are

Smother my name under soil and dirt in the earth

Widen the distance apart

Fuck an apology, I'm not sorry for anything

I've been holding back my apathy for far too long

You don't deserve what you haven't earned

And your place in my heart has just grown so small

I'd like to think that you're worth my time

But you embody everything that I hate

Take a good, hard look at what you see

I've lost all my hope and all my faith

'Cause when I barely fuck up, you just recoil and weep

What do you want from me? I'm just a kid who got in too deep

My walls are built up high, forever bound to be steep

I've got a birds' eye view of all the secrets you keep

Try to tell me that you knew from the start

That I would come to know that most would never enter my heart

Because I'm colder than the others, it's what sets me apart

You manipulate and try to shine a light on my dark

But this is my life, you should bounce & never call again

No more strife, go find it in the souls of other men

You know, you're not as smart as you look

I'm gonna take back what you took

I'd like to think that you're worth my time

But you embody everything that I hate

Take a good, hard look at what you see

I've lost all my hope and all my faith

'Cause when I barely fuck up, you just recoil and weep

What do you want from me? I'm just a kid who got in too deep

My walls are built up high, forever bound to be steep

I've got a birds' eye view of all the secrets you keep

You know you're not as smart as you look

I'm going to take back what you took

And you didn't know shit from the start

And you didn't know shit from the start
