Deal - Crooked Teeth

I couldn’t save you even if I tried.

I’m dealing with my own shit,

dealing with my own life

An absent father, deadbeat mother.

An only sister to her dope fiend brother.

Middle class decline paired with fleeting time and a lie nobody can save her

from

Years of detachment, years of discouragement and fear

If I’m the headlights, you’re the deer

I couldn’t save you even if I tried.

I’m dealing with my own shit,

dealing with my own life.

I couldn’t save you but I thought I’d write it

anyway, just to say.

I’m dealing with my own shit, I’ll deal with it my own way

We’re all bastards, we’re all burdens.

Smoke signals to an absent father.

Listen to her words, beyond just nouns and verbs.

they paint a picture outside

the numbers

If i’m wrong then so long, better luck with someone who cares

They’ve got places filled with fake faces where people are paid to care
