Bag Of TricksA Poem by Travis PrinoTighten your tie up to your throat when you try to breathe pray you don't choke tuck in your shirt and get in line don't make them tell you one more time comb your hair to look the part listen to the bullshit that they bark shave all that scruff on your face and neck clean yourself up you're a f*****g mess you've got your bag of tricks now open it to see what's inside you've got your bag of tricks you've opened it that's what made you blind and all your misconceptions lead you to a place you can hide cause you're stuck in the past and you won't ever let them change your mind pull up your pants, put on a belt don't make a scene it sure won't help now turn that frown upside down pretend you're happy when they're around make believe that you give a damn about the money in their hands don't let them know that you're a fake it will prove to be your biggest mistake you've got your bag of tricks now open it to see what's inside you've got your bag of tricks you've opened it that's what made you blind and all your misconceptions lead you to a place you can hide cause you're stuck in the past and you won't ever let them change your mind one day I've got to leave this mess release this tension in my chest inhale, exhale, just take a breath free myself of all this stress one day I've got to leave this mess release this tension in my chest inhale, exhale, just take a breath free myself of all this stress you've got your bag of tricks now open it to see what's inside you've got your bag of tricks you've opened it that's what made you blind and all your misconceptions lead you to a place you can hide cause you're stuck in the past and you won't ever let them change your mind you wanted me to change while you just stayed the same you've got your bag of tricks but you're still just full of s**t. © 2019 Travis Prino |
