Slant Rhyme (lyrics)

You can have a million dollars if you can read my soul

Well don’t even bother ‘cause I know that you won’t

As sacred as a promise I tried to hold on

But if I’m being honest this battle is lifelong

I remember when I felt like I wasn’t worth it

The marks on my skin, they were there on purpose

The next morning we sat on the swings and you asked me if I was okay

The next morning we sat on the swings and you heard me say...

~guitar instrumental~

Time goes by, I live a lie

I learn to smoke what I don’t like

There’s vultures in my heart sometimes

It's not easy feeling like a slant rhyme 

But years later he’s putting a drink in my hand

His arms tell a story that I can understand

Oh he remembers when he felt like he wasn’t worth

The marks on his skin they were there on purpose

The next morning we sat on the curb, and I asked if he was now okay

The next morning we sat on the curb, and I heard him say...

~guitar instrumental~

You can have a couple pennies if you try to read my soul

You’ll find there is plenty of annotations to unfold
