breaking up the band

Again, you've cast yourself
in a shitty drama
and all the girls' voices
sound tense and flat
If you keep vomiting
up your lines
you'll be okay
Just tell yourself
you'll be okay
You've worked too hard
for too long
to blow this shit
Do you really want
to trade the girl
with the movie star name
for the girl
with the stripper's name?
You've proven to yourself
that you can do a lot
with a little
but what happens
when you get too much?
Too many voices
are crowding in on you
too many eyes
are waiting for you to fall
For too long
your hands have been
the servants of a fool
for too long
you've broken your promises
and sifted through the carnage
Can't you see
you're tunneling into
another massive mistake?
It's one thing
to wage a war on yourself
but you can't control
the collateral damage
You can't control
what happens
after the bomb drops.
