Wearing Influences On Our Sleeve-less T-shirts - Sampler Version

When you fought
 You sunk like a stone
 But that's not why you came here
 And that's not while we'll go
 You were sold
 And you were bought
 And you were blamed
 When they forgot
 But you can choose
 Just how you fall
 You can choose how to lose it all
 But it's nothing I miss
 But I liked how you hit me
 And I liked how you quit
 But you're not the same
 You changed your name
 You didn't just switch teams
 You left the game
 And now we're done
 With shaking hands
 Because we're strangers now
 And we'll just have to pretend
 We're honest
 We're honest
 We're honest when we tell lies
 We're lying
 We're lying when we don't mind
 We're tired
 We're tired of all the jokes
 Our progress
 Our progress is too damn slow
 I left my home and woke up cold
 The floors were pale, the walls had holes
 The air was thick, the beds were wrecked
 I tried to call, but there was nothing left
 I wish I could say that it was all okay
 Okay
 Okay
 Okay
 Okay
 I was finally told
 That's not why you came here
 And that's not why you'll go
 You were taught to turn them down
 To make the most of what you found
 But I was raised to pave the way
 And to spend whatever it takes
