The Impact of This Exit Songtext
von Carly Cosgrove

You′ve quite a life you live now
Did your lumbar give out?
Your foot ain't in a beeping anklet
Why do you look so unwell?
Why so afraid of yourself
And terrified to leave your stasis
I watched you stretch an hour to a day
Didn′t used to do things that way
Remember when our friends did the same
And we called them weak?
Don't you go checking out on me now

Don't you know you′re a winner?
I have never met a winner who
I have never met a winner who
Hates to win quite as much as you do
Don′t you know you're a winner?


We stuck it out ′til daybreak
Five years, not once did you wake
With any sort of rested temper
I watched you watch your dreams come true
Just to fall back asleep
Don't you remember when we didn′t mind the mess
Did much more with so much less
Don't you go checking out on me now

Don′t you know you're a winner?
I have never met a winner who
I have never met a winner who
Hates to win quite as much as you do
Don't you know you′re a winner?

You could′ve been a god
If you'd just done as I told you
But you′d rather waste away
In your voluntary coma
Get over it and grow up


Just stop
I don't want to have you in my head
I would take that coma any day
Over anything you′d do instead
I watched you keep the ends in sights
And the means in tears
And I watched you cast our friends to the side
If they ever interfered
And I let you keep me up all night
For five whole years
And I let you eat me alive
Don't you think for a second
That you′re welcome here now

I don't wanna be a winner
I don't wanna be a winner who
I don′t wanna be a winner who
Has to win in the way that you do
I don′t wanna be a winner
I don't wanna possess you

I would rather be this mess
Than the one you would turn me into
Than the one you would turn me into
Than the one you would have me do
Than the one checking out on me now
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
There you go, checking out on me now
