I find you disingenuous 
Like the house that I grew up in
Aesthetics always shifting 
But the frame remains unchanging
Nothing short of demolition 
Would rob you of your function 
To exist in conjunction 
With the evil that dwells outside the walls

But all I ever hear when you're near
Is a tiny violin playing you in
The cadence of your self confidence
Down tuned to something subordinate

But steady hands can still draw the shortest straw

But all our conversations 
Are like fists hitting the pavement 
Despite your knuckles conviction 
The cement remains indifferent

Lost in neighborhoods I grew up in
Where form does not fit function 
And there's nothing triumphant 
About the mansions rich men live alone in

But all I ever hear when you're near
Is a tiny violin playing you in
The cadence of your self confidence
Down tuned to something subordinate

But steady hands can still draw the shortest straw
