i can never let myself forget
i know how it'd make them see me
who understands the pain of regret?
nothing can erase what i chose to be
silver stripes smack me in the face
and all my work is ruined
there's a drop of blood on my resume
i see my future through the foggy glass
i need a line i can always say
to make all inquiry fade and pass
silver stripes stab me in the heart
and all my work is ruined
i never thought i'd choose this way
silver stripes have made my heart decay
