invite yourself in like a bad case of fleas   parasitic ploy fills and obvious need   set me up   cut me down   cash me in   spit me out   thanks for nothing   stealing the fire from the unsuspecting   freak   opportune time to perpetuate the breed   set me up   cut me down   cash me in   spit me out   thanks for nothing   the pressure builds   the balance sets   the level tilts   as thoughts compress   try your best you will   to bury my head in the sand   keep me lost in the dark   with the promise of a new spark   played me   drained me   tried your best   to win   played me   drained me   you try   try   plowing your way through a delicate maze   crushing the dreams that a lifetime made   rest will come away as the planets fall in line   karma piling up will catch in time   set me up   cut me down   cash me in   spit me out   thanks for nothing   played me   drained me   tried your best   to win   played me   drained me   you try   try   sit down
