Subtext Lyrics
Distorted, greedy and rude
Broken and blued
Can’t get enough today
Can never be too crude
Lowest of the bottom to the top
It’s just a petty joke
Born in money faked in fame
And everyone here is broke
Subtext and text again
Maybe time to call a friend
Text and text again
Careful when you sleep
For wolves will eat the sheep
There are no lucky stars
So keep your lips tight
No it won’t be alright
Maybe just a little scar
How many more ways must I explain
Subtext and text again
Maybe time to call a friend
Seems the wrong people are locked in the pen
On your knees choking on dirt
But you’ve got your pride
All critical thinkin’ too far gone
To see you’ve been the joy ride
Now lay low and let time pass you by
Just like the poison waves of the tide
Subtext and text again
Maybe time to phone a friend
We’ve all become has-beens
Now text and text again
