Lyrics

“Don’t flinch,” they laughed
As the baseball flew at my face
Faking me out
Pretending to throw a ball at me
Sons are supposed to enjoy playing catch with their fathers
But neither did I, and neither did my sister
He broke her pinky finger
Don’t be a sore loser
Always try your best to win
Try your best to win
It’s all about the competition
All those who wander are whipped
Those who whip never wander
So don’t wonder why you feel so out of shape
You were fucked from the start
The jackal always loses
And no control or cowardice
Can help the wanderer, no
And where will we live
Alone and with no other promise of immortality?
For what that’s worth
Nothing
But we both hate HIM
The inescapable HIM
HIM
To be a snake with silver eyes
Afraid to venture on the East side
And see the diverse replica of life outside
He had empathy, but only for himself
His pity was belittling
Sometimes I wish we had souls
So the harshest among us could never find peace
But life is life and death is messy
Death is messy
Fuck HIM, fuck God, fuck your idols
For they are even more meaningless than you
The body never appealed to me
But I can tolerate that now
You drew an ace but you were too caught up to see it
So you bet your life on the jackal of spades
