Ruiners from Fixed by Bear on Bear

Did you beat the other boys
At your silly game?
And did the girls care?
The people you want to care
They don’t always consider it a win

See everything you care about
Is foolish to somebody else
And you convince yourself you don’t mind
Pick your battles, bide your time
Win the people you can to your side
But what will you do with your allegiances?

Do you really care what happens to you?
Can you honestly say, “it was out of my control”
And feel ok?

I guess we hold dear to our fantasy
And it’s very specific
And it doesn’t exist
And yet it manifests

I hate to be so vague
Buti don’t want to make myself clear
And give myself away
As soon as they know what I want
They know what they can take

Ruiners, all of us
So much easier to be a roadblock
Then get out of the way

So slow, so dull, so manipulative
Feigning ignorance
It’s fucking pathetic
And we’re all to blame

Holding dear to fantasy
Telling others to get real
Finding any excuse to cut and tear
And claim you’re fixing a problem
We should know by now
The fix is a lie
But they’ll fall for it
You can always find support
Especially when you’re full of shit

So did you beat the other boys
At your silly game
And did the girls really give a fuck?
Yeah I asked if you got laid
Did it make you feel ok?
Did you feel accomplished?
Did it make you feel complete?
