Winner of "Best Song" at the 2012 Silicon Valley Music Awards.

lyrics

''Match Point'' he says aloud
cuz if it's not one thing then
it's always another
I'm packin’ up my luck
'cause everything
in his eyes is out of touch
''I'm all in for me'', he whispers like it's somehow secret anyway
I'm boxin' my brains
but I won't stand and fry

Oh no
What did you do?
Oh no
It's like I see
right through you
Oh no
What did you do?

Lately
It feels as though you blame me
for everything that's
one by one and I’ll tell you openly that
nothin's ever gonna be like this
If I'm man enough
there's nothin' to it
I'll add it up and I'll take you through it step by step, the GLOW
It's comin' up faster than you would know
You ready for this?

''Tie game'' said brazenly
cuz if it's not one thing,
(HEY) I'm always the other
you don't care that much
cuz everythin' in this word is not enough
''I'm all in for me,'' He shouts it like it's somethin' to be fuckin' proud of
I won't feel anythin
‘cuz bastards don't cry

but Oh no
What did you do?
Oh no
It's like I see
right through you
Oh no
What did you do?

And lately
it feels as though you blame me
for everything that's
one-by-one in a graveyard full of these introspective mannequins you're sellin'
If I'm man enough
there's nothin' to it
I'll add it up and I'll take you through it step by step, The GLOW
Is comin' up faster than you would know, you ready for this?
If I'm man enough,
there's nothin' to it
I'll add it up and take you through it step by step
Oh you know, you know you're glowin' like an open hole

Oh no
What did we do?
Oh no
It's like they see right
through you
Oh no
What did we do?

And lately
It feels as though you blame me
for everything that's
one by one and I tell you openly that nothin's ever gonna be like this
If I'm man enough
there's nothin' to it
I'll add it up and I'll take you through this step by step
oh you know, you know you're glowin' like an open hole
