three strikes against me
My sister can't sleep
Waiting for me when I'm gone
She wishes I'd distance myself from those streets
Not wake the fool 'til the dawn

And then I see you completely distraught
Claiming to be all the things that you're not
Masking the truths until there's no end
I've waited before but I won't... won't wait again

Distanced by the days and the weeks and the months
My mind it will never shake
I really can't pinpoint just where you left off
What's real what's masquerade

And then I see you completely distraught
Claiming to be all the things that you're not
Masking the truths until there's no end
I've waited before but I won't... won't wait again

3 strikes against me
My sister can't sleep
Must put some ice on those wrinkles
You claim you're hitting homeruns
Well triples at least
You can't get a minor league single

And now I find you completely distraught
Claiming to be all the things that you're not
Masking the truths until there's no end
I've waited before but I won't wait again
