Evan Moore Poet Lyric

The Great Heep, Or How To Unsuccessfully Hack An Android

Verse
When I saw who was calling
I didn't answer the phone
There was a pit in my stomach
Like I'd swallowed a stone
Collect call from jail
Do I want to accept?
If the tables were turned
Would I be feeling bereft?
Except that the inverse
Had never happened before
You practically live there
Engraved your name on the door

Prechorus
But I'm sick of sliding backwards
Sick of circling the drain
I was the last one in your corner
Tell me, now who will remain?

Chorus
You didn't think I'd go this far
And it's got you quite annoyed
But I can't do this any longer
And watch your future be destroyed
The path I hear you're on now
Strewn with needles, blood, and fuel
Thinking you know better
With your self-diagnostic tool

Verse
You thought you were so clever
With your technology and talk
But the sad truth of the matter
Is you're the bird that lost its flock
I saved your life a couple times
Started your  breathing  when you were blue
But the cats you choose to run with
Will they do the same for you?
A magnet for policemen
This Odyssey that you're on
You're the only one who thinks
Your path in life is any fun

Prechorus
But I'm sick of starting over
Tearing down everything I've built
Your unwillingness to try
Stabs me in the heart up to the hilt

Chorus
You didn't think I'd go this far
And it's got you quite annoyed
But I can't do this any longer
And watch your future be destroyed
You're not the man you used to be
He drowned in shards of glass
You're the one and only android
That self-destructed instead of hacked.
