Pleaser

[Verse 1] Why does the menu always lie? And why did I take a dozen trains Underdressed for a hurricane? And I'm gonna love this place I hear So I start toying with my glass and smile like an overpass Certain things feel smooth to me Go in and out like steam through pipes But this is such an old machine that I let vapor cool to ice I don't think you see the freeze, but still, I bet you wonder why I came here in a hurricane just to leave before I dry [Chorus] Am I meant to a pleaser? Was I born to keep you sane? I know I can make it easier That's never been my way I don't wanna be your mirror Or a pretty piggy bank No one's smashing me to pieces, nothing here for you to claim [Verse 2] Which part of me was always you? It's not the one you're staring at It's calling for you from the back And yet, it's the bit I'm turning to The metal chair I'm sitting in The bonds I've long been living in So what am I supposed to do? Should I let you go down the drain And pull me there, held by my hair? 'Cause it's not better than the rain And when you are one thing at first Molded by an empty hand Do you become its very worst, or do you start again? [Chorus] Am I meant to a pleaser? Was I born to keep you sane? I know I can make it easier That's never been my way I don't wanna be your mirror Or a pretty piggy bank No one's smashing me to pieces, nothing here for you to claim [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] Am I meant to a pleaser? Was I born to keep you sane? I know I can make it easier That's never been my way I don't wanna be your mirror Or a pretty piggy bank No one's smashing me to pieces, they're just lying in my wake Oh, oh
