Tell Your Dog All Your Secrets

No ones ever even been in an empty room And now's as good a time as any to tell you this: I don’t feel regret if it was right for me at the time We spend so much of our lives with regret It might as well be our husbands and wives And no ones ever even been in an empty room So next time you’re sitting alone, Remember that your guilt and suppression Will keep you anything but cold When is the time to throw caution to the wind? It wasn’t getting you towards justice anyways Throw your pennies into streams and caution to the wind It wasn’t getting you that respect you crave anyways, now was it? If I had a dollar for every business mogul that disappointed the world I could retire and live at a resort at 19 Like uncultured moths to a poisoned chalice flame, Too many corporate pitches with more sham than champagne Everything’s a scam and it’s better to face this now Druggies might be liars, but so are lawyers there isn't much difference And we all know you get back what you dish out Don’t be throwing stones at the working class from a glass house Like semi-blossomed moths to a counter-culture flame, Now’s as good a time as any to tell you: Our number one issue is not eccentric change I’m throwing caution to the wind and verbalizing my hot takes Every life lost without repercussion is a loss of faith in my eyes Rules can be broken and bent But mirrors don't break, they multiply And soon, all you’re gonna see is heartbreak in my eyes With more political pyromania than Lord of the Flies; Like gullible moths to a discreetly anarchical flame I don’t feel regret if it was right for me at the time We spend so much of our lives with regret It might as well be our husbands and wives And you can see and feel emptiness But heartbreaks lives in all of our eyes
