Complacent Video (MV)

Usually the city she is my only friend,
She is all I need,
And the streetlights and the people,
The busy roads and cobblestones
Are the company I keep

And that's just fine with me,
I'm not losing sleep
Over what could have been
In a time I didn't know what I was meddling with,
In the time I knew you.

And you, you got complacent
And you started replacing the things
That we had with the things you thought you wanted
And we, we were misshapen and fraying at the edges.
I prayed that I could keep you,
You were gone before I ever really got you boy.

And usually the memories rest on the periphery,
Absolutely and exactly where I mean them to,
And I scarcely even think of you.

Oh, but occasionally they come crashing through,
Overpower me.
Then I can scarcely breathe,
Vivid and violent as you are.

And you, you got complacent
And you started replacing the things
That we had with the things you thought you wanted
And we, we were misshapen and fraying at the edges.
I prayed that I could keep you,
You were gone before I ever really got you boy.


And occasionally you didn't toy with me
And occasionally you didn't lie to me
Oh but usually you were using me
Oh and usually you made a fool of me

And you, you got complacent
And you started replacing the things
That we had with the things you thought you wanted
And we, we were misshapen and fraying at the edges.
I prayed that I could keep you,
You were gone before I ever really got you boy.
All you did was leave me suffer all I ever meant to do was bring you joy.
