System Works

She makes a toast
You acquiesce
And you think
That you're the mess
She sees your faults
And not your charms
Yet all you want's
Back in her arms

You know it has a name when
When you are small
She holds you close then
Then takes it all

The system works
But not for you
And so you try
Try something new
And when you think
You leave it behind
Keeps coming back
Into your mind

You know it has a name when
When you are small
She holds you close then
Then takes it all

You try to speak it out loud now
Now that she's gone
But no sound ever comes out, you
You push it down
Down
You push it down
Down
You push it down
Down
You push it down
Down
