She put tissues in her sock Broke her shoes in on our walk My baby and I, nothing to put under our mattress They're selling all their stock Cause, it's a necessary phase It's the dark darkest of days "I hope you're ready, you've got some shit to carry You just gotta run and ignore pain" But, the bootstrap's a knot Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught Again, I bleed out for what? For what? Was gonna start this thing for real Ready to spin the fucking wheel But, I guess it's not my time, I want more than I can ask for So, what's the fucking deal with all the riches on TV? "They want the best for you and me" I hope you're ready, your money turned confetti "You just gotta run, there's no guarantee" But, the bootstrap's a knot Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught Again, I bleed out for what? But, here I am pulling anyway on a bootstrap, a knot Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught Again, I bleed out for what? For what? The panic, it sets in My blisters, my dead skin I pull off with the band aid The rent's due, it can't wait My knees hurt and my head spins I'll give up, I can't win I am, I was always the many, the deadweight But, the bootstrap's a knot Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught Again, I bleed out for what? I tried my best, but I forgot to ask myself for what?
