Check your pride at the door.
The baggage is heavy and the handles are worn.
Stretched fabric and exposed threads.
You can stay the night but remember you made the bed.

Now lie in it because we know the truth.
It was never about right.
It was always about wrong and we misdirected the focus
like an off key version of our favorite song.

Check your pride at the door.
Remember to wipe your feet before you enter.
What your boots have been through stinks more.
