"Use It Or Lose It" lyrics

"Use It Or Lose It"

Don't steal my mugs for they weren't cheap
Some fifty two, one for every week
Don't misconstrue that they're only just for show
In every vessel the morning ritual flows
Don't take for granted a pleasure briefly owned
Use it or lose it

Don't charge my brain with the daily scroll
Fill up instead with some Orwell
Don't dip your days in the drip-sink of disdain
Misinformation big brother seeks to gain
Don't take for granted the power of the pen
Use it or lose it

Don't dull my heart 'til the feeling's numb
Don't stop the beat of a mortal drum
Don't stop the beat of the rhythm in my soul
I'll take the heat just to serve a love that's bold
Don't take for granted a gentle heart of gold
Use it or lose it

Don't fill my lungs with a heavy smoke
Passive or active, black is the joke
Don't snuff the spark out that burns inside my chest
For every in and out, a lucky draw at best
Don't take for granted the number of your breath
Use it or lose it

Don't break the pieces that make me up
Don't take a sip from a stolen cup
Don't take my mind 'ere it think the perfect line
Don't take my heart 'ere it beats in perfect time
Don't take my breath 'ere it sings the perfect rhyme
Use it or lose it
