Winner's Curse

lyrics

winner’s curse

just forget that you forgot cuz we will all remember
this is not how you could want it to be
who’s been calling you a selfish piece of shit?
man, you’ve set this up the wrong way!

just be all that you can be
be all that you can be in this army made of you and of me
take your cover in a friend when you see

i can make the case that you’d be guilty to survive
think of this as just the way I like to spend my time
now, it’s my goal to let you know that there’s no way you’ll keep this alive

it’s so related… there’s no mistaking
it’s been contemplated… these thoughts you’ve stated
it’s all to blame on you

there was nothing you could say… was not for you to say
they’d covered up and driven away
so, you think you had a hand in it?
damn, you’ve led yourself the wrong way!

there’s no fingerprints or hair to show
every inch of you was there to choke and deprive him of air,
but you know!

i can make the case that you’d be guilty to survive
and let you see i won’t believe until the opportunistic time

there’s no debating… it’s so related
it’s been consummated with thoughts you’ve stated
it’s hard to say that

you didn’t know you had it coming
you didn’t know it was about the money
didn’t you know?
you need to know!

and i can’t overstate it… it’s so related
you’ve left your right to say that it’s chance you’ve taken
on this road you’re paving, there’s no mistaking
you’ve been compensated

but we both know that you’ve overpaid
