On the Brink - Mason Jennings

By the time I saw the writing

I was halfway in the tank

Watching as your Bentley

Headed to the bank

But you never got there did you

Somewhere you got lost

Living like a vampire

Comes at quite a cost

Where are you now

Where is your swag

Dealing with all this

Has been such a drag

There ain’t no love like a phony love

There ain’t no lie like a holy lie

We’re only as strong as our weakest link

When we’re stranded here together

Stranded here together on the brink

In case you didn’t notice

It case it wasn’t clear

You have never touched

A thing that I hold dear

Now my life’s a movie

On every blazing screen

Your life is a footnote

No one’s ever seen

The ugly truth

Is still the truth

Sometimes it’s what we need

Just to make it through

There ain’t no love like a phony love

There ain’t no lie like a holy lie

We’re only as strong as our weakest link

When we’re stranded here together

Stranded here together on the brink

When the kingdom starts to crumble

The prophets take it hard

They move their tent revival

Into you front yard

At first I didn’t notice

How much they target me

When a stranger says they love you

That love is never free

Where are you now

Where is your swag

Dealing with all this

Has been such a drag

There ain’t no love like a phony love

There ain’t no lie like a holy lie

We’re only as strong as our weakest link

When we’re stranded here together

Stranded here together

There ain’t no love like a phony love

There ain’t no lie like a holy lie

We’re only as strong as our weakest link

When we’re stranded here together

Stranded here together on the brink
