| The lyric of Retirement, Cursive's song Our mistakes are scrawled upon the chalkboardThey re scribed across stained glassThey re posted on the billboardsA lackluster charadeAnd are we so naive to concede these forefathers?Apparently we areWellapparently it s trueThere s no slot machines past the pearly gatesWhy do we kid ourselves?We grow old and wiseWe just lose our mindsThe dinner is a hitThe guests are full of spiritsThey gather around the husbandHe s versed in party tricksThe wife is in the bedroomSmearing her makeupmakeupmake it upBut she s got a lover on the sideMotelscheap wineShe says "You can t base love off the pity fuckunless they ve got a lot of money." Cause it s the games that we play Cause we need to existWe re not humanswe re citizensIt s the one on the groundWith his hands on his heartIt s the cleavage of divisionIt s all jagged and jadedBut it suits usWe just fake it through
