RULE OF THIRDS

the only time you'll get from me is cautious

comes at a cost

i watch the tick tock tick of time

constantly count it, it's never lost

I said, "what gives you the right?"

"what gives you the right?"

"what gives you the right?"

though it's hard to see

i'm fucking tired, distinctly tied

to this ongoing rodeo

it's like the rule of thirds, divided up

to put my focus just beyond you

"okay, so what gives you the right?"

asked for the fourth time in a concrete hall

the echolalia, the hollering contradictions

yes, in fact, i turned my timer off

'cause i saw the you the worst

you're some secret version on reserve

but it's hard to see

i come again, constantly tied

to this ongoing rodeo

and it's like the rule of thirds

saw you the worst

while you divide and chop us all up

can you

break it off?

break it off

break it

break it off

break it, break it

"okay, so what gives you the right?"

i'm asking for the fifth time in our crumbling home

i hear echos, car alarms, the hollering that we're doing

and yes, in fact, i turned my timer off

and i said, "you, my dear, i see you the worst

'cause you're some secret lesson that i need to learn"

so it's plain to see i'm really tired, constantly tied

to this ongoing rodeo

well i said it, and i wasn't wrong

break it off

break it, break it

when you wanted to get something from me

break it off

break it, break it

when you wanted to look but not now

break it off

break it, break it

break it off

break it, break it
