Laced and Lost

Amputate the heart of it, I know it can't be real

Shallow introspection, so little is revealed

All the little creatures will rot against their will

If we'll never get it right, it ends tonight

Let me kiss your emptiness, your sonic, voided space

Your elevator music, oh, makes me feel prostrated

If I keep my back against the truth, love

The best all have their backs against some truth

If we'll never get it right, it ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

'Cause damned if I, if I could let it go

Anchored in this always, I wanted to be there

Hallowed in this ageless place, I was unprepared

Am I always backed against the truth, love?

The best are always backed against some truth

If we'll never get it right, it ends tonight

If we'll never get it right, it ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

'Cause damned if I, if I'd let it go

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

Laced for the greatest race, then lost

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

'Cause damned if I, if I'd let it go

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

Laced for the greatest race, then lost

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

'Cause damned if I, if I'd let it go

If I'm born to win, don't let me know

Laced for the greatest race, then lost

If I'm born to win, why am I slow?

Damned if I
