Betrayed by the Game Lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

Mothership

2016

[Verse 1: Tilian]
Damaged pride and vulnerable, all my fears are open now
Never thought this would hit me so hard
Staring at my hollow phone, not sure if you're coming home
Bed still smells like I'm not all alone again
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
I know we fucked it all up this time
We got so high
(Couldn't see the bottom)
[Chorus: Tilian]
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you
(To tell you I)
To tell you I still love you
[Post-Chorus: Jon Mess]
My mental image impaired, undid the braids in my hair
I rain destruction in the fight of my inner feels
Remove the tricks of the trade, you're just alone on the stage
There's no witness, fly your soul through the windshield
[Verse 2: Tilian]
Damaged pride and vulnerable, all my fears are open now
Never thought I could hurt you so hard
Staring at my hollow phone, wondering if you've found your home
Feel like I deserve to die alone again
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
We really fucked it all up this time
We got so low
(Only for a second)
[Chorus: Tilian]
I just crashed my car
And it got me thinking of you
So I just thought I'd call
To tell you
(To tell you I)
To tell you I still love you
[Post-Chorus: Jon Mess]
Take a sip from the drain, the flavor tastes like nothing
Or nothing tastes the same 'cause nothing is never there
I know what I'm talking 'bout, believe the words in my mouth
'Cause I can say that it was all just a metaphor
[Outro: Jon Mess, Tilian]
(You know that I won't stop, I'm coming back on top)
In my heart and in my mind's eye, in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(Don't call that it's a flop, I got the refs on lock)
(You know that I won't stop, I'm coming back on top)
In my heart and in my mind's eye, in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(Don't call that it's a flop, I got the refs on lock)
(Damaged pride and vulnerable)
(You know that I won't stop, I'm coming back on top)
In my heart and in my mind's eye, in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(Don't call that it's a flop, I got the refs on lock)
(All my fears are open now)
In my heart and in my mind's eye, in my soul
I know that they ain't never gonna break me
(You know that I won't stop)
