Tailor-Made Destinies

"Tailor-Made Destinies"
2010

Fortify your self-esteem
Solidify your selfish ways
Make believe you never dream
And maybe you'll deserve my praise
Because you seem to play a role
That's been tailor-made for you
But dear will you have a soul
When all is said and through
Do you know how it feels to want
Do you know how it feels to need
Do you know any fucking thing
Besides the way to make me sing
Don't you know the walls you build
Just hide the holes I'd die to fill
But you keep pushing me away
While expecting me to stay
As you play your every field
Trying to turn a loss to win
But when you open up your eyes
You'll find that you're alone again
So you can text your saddest tales
To the sympathetic ears
Who'll tell you that it's not your fault
And we're not worth your tears
But people get what they deserve
When the odds are in their view
And still they choose to play a hand
The way that stupid people do
And all I say is...
Do you know how it feels to want
Do you know how it feels to need
Do you know any fucking thing
Besides the way to make me sing
Don't you know the walls you build
Just hide the holes I'd die to fill
But you keep pushing me away
While expecting me to stay
As you play your every field
Trying to turn a loss to win
But when you open up your eyes
You'll find that you're alone again
It's these tailor-made destinies
That get the best of us
You do your best to fight the waves
But drown like the rest of us
So kick your feet and move your arms
Make the biggest splash you can
'Cause when you fade beneath the blue
They'll watch you from where they stand
And I'll say...
Do you know how it feels to be a slave
To the thoughts of what you crave
Or do you know any fucking thing
Besides the way to make me sing
Don't you know the walls you build
Just hide the holes I'd die to fill
But you keep pushing me away
While expecting me to stay
As you play your every field
Trying to turn a loss to win
But when you open up your eyes
You'll find that you're alone again
'Cause it's these tailor-made destinies
That get the best of us
You do your best to fight the waves
But drown like the rest of us
So kick your feet and move your arms
Make the biggest splash you can
'Cause when you fade beneath the blue
They'll watch you from where they stand
And I'll say... nothing...
