Originally released on the Midwest Mess Mixtape, Vol. 1: midwestmessmixtape.bandcamp.com/releases

lyrics

You tried to sway us with your words
How you didn't know what you did
That you'd never choose to hurt us
But you shared a truth that never should have surfaced
Then I sent you a message about how life is a puzzle
That all night you've been picked on
But it seems you were the one doing the picking all along
I take back my well wishes and thoughts that you're human
I ask myself "what was I thinking?"

This situation should be easy
A black and white description
Yet I can't help but to see all of the color in this instance
Either way you look at it, the outcome is grey
I'd like to quietly pack you up and send you on your way

But in spite of my anger, an exceptional soul prevailed
You can't break a mirror without shattering the pieces to repair

What you said to me should have made me angry
But instead it only made me feel worthy
You laid out the reasons you shouldn’t treat me this way
But after all was said and done
I wish you hadn’t bothered anyway

But in spite of my anger
But in spite of my anger
But in spite of my anger
In spite of my anger, you could have pretended you cared

You're not welcome in our homes
You're not welcome in our ears
(I was amazed by the embarrassment of your lies)
You've had too many years already
And now it's cranking up my fear
(Reciprocating my friendship for something more)
That not one of you can be trusted
This has really done some harm
You've brought some toxic, deadly poison
Upon our little farm
(And every single time I confided my weakness in you, I was wrong)
Where we've put in so many hours
Growing more than just flowers
Growing families to be together
(I was wrong)
And share in our endeavors
But not yours, not now, not ever
