Defeatist
Words and music: j. scarpelli

Don’t drag me down again cause I think the mud has been enough
And you smear when you turn like you do
So I went to the inside cause I couldn’t love you enough
But it’s a coup when you choose to lose it again…

I try to keep an open mind about the weapons you choose

But she don’t listen to reason
i coordinate by cheating
subordinate my reasons
cause I am defeatist.

I talk straight to your ears so your heart can shrug it off
And I slip out through your zipper before dawn
But now I’m surrounded but not trying too hard
And afraid of burning up on your lawn...

I fall way behind thinking of what I could be doing

But she don’t listen to reason
i coordinate by cheating
supoordinate my reasons
cause I am defeatist.
