She put tissues in her sock
Broke her shoes in on our walk
My baby and I, nothing to put under our mattress
They're selling all their stock
Cause, it's a necessary phase
It's the dark darkest of days
"I hope you're ready, you've got some shit to carry
You just gotta run and ignore pain"
But, the bootstrap's a knot
Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught
Again, I bleed out for what?
For what?
Was gonna start this thing for real
Ready to spin the fucking wheel
But, I guess it's not my time, I want more than I can ask for
So, what's the fucking deal with all the riches on TV?
"They want the best for you and me"
I hope you're ready, your money turned confetti
"You just gotta run, there's no guarantee"
But, the bootstrap's a knot
Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught
Again, I bleed out for what?
But, here I am pulling anyway on a bootstrap, a knot
Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught
Again, I bleed out for what?
For what?
The panic, it sets in
My blisters, my dead skin I pull off with the band aid
The rent's due, it can't wait
My knees hurt and my head spins
I'll give up, I can't win
I am, I was always the many, the deadweight
But, the bootstrap's a knot
Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught
Again, I bleed out for what?
I tried my best, but I forgot to ask myself for what?
