Platitudes and Barren Words

I'm broken, you're bent

I laugh while you repent

Threw punches, never left a dent

Kick and scream, you can feed the flame

Put out the fire, it's all the same

Just either clock out or stake your claim

Come on, just lay it on the line

You're runnin' on fumes and out of time

It takes more to be convincin'

Than platitudes, 'cause your words are wearin' thin

I rush, you stall

Here we go, you're on a roll

Driving me right up the wall

Emotions left ripped at the seams

The game is over, or so it seems

But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines

Come on, just lay it on the line

Cut me a break, don't take your time

I'm up for layin' down the swords

Just no more platitudes or barren words

I'm filled to the brim

What's one more deadly sin?

To lose or win

Should I frown or grin?

Come on, just lay it on the line

You're runnin' on fumes and out of time

It takes more to be convincin'

Than platitudes, 'cause your words are wearin' thin

I'm filled to the brim

What's one more deadly sin?

To lose or win

Should I frown or grin?
