Built To Last

Pause to repeat
Act out, lose sleep
Your prayers, loose leaf
Cut your teeth

No big surprise
Bat eyes, that's nice
You're past, past prime
Fold your knife

Some get it wrong
Stand by and smile
For you to appease
Side by side

I'll take it back
When you're built to last
And although I'd love to be head first
While keeping it nice and neat
What's worse?
