Rejected

was the struggle worth it

just to get kicked while you were down

all the late night sessions

burned to a crisp and made of doubt

my elaborate defenses

don't keep the stones from being cast

what are my other choices

but to rig the race and come in last

you are the rejector and I am the rejected

I am the rejector and you are the rejected

you are the rejector and I am the rejected

I am the rejector and you are the rejected

alone alone alone alone

there's a burning curtain

between my safety and desire

fragile ego gamble

could turn to dust or catch on fire

pour my heart into this 4 track

you ditch me as I take your arm

storms in a shot glass

to weak to sink or do me harm

you are the rejector and I am the rejected

I am the rejector and you are the rejected

you are the rejector and I am the rejected

I am the rejector and you are the rejected

alone alone alone alone

la la la la la la la la la la lone
