Cold Mechanical Pride
(verse)
I can't pour your coffee
The same way every time
This time try my recipe
'Cause I've tasted all your lines
You won't bend at all
Just a little bit for me
The writing on the wall
Is the only thing you see
Are you afraid
The structure will fall
If you let me break
All your rules and laws?
(chorus)
But my little victory
From your cold mechanical pride
Is that I can hold on tightly
To this grudge I keep inside
(verse)
You won't let me say the rhyme
When you give me all your reasons
Come over to my side
And stand by me for once
I keep tripping on this pedestal
I put you on long ago
I'm tired of feeling small
I've got pride too, you know
Should I
Just walk away
And leave you behind
Just one thing I'll save....
(chorus)
I'll keep my little victory
From your cold mechanical pride
I will always hold on tightly
To this grudge I keep inside
