Your Local Acquaintance Songtext
von Riveira Bailey

Let′s get this started
It's not you, it′s him, it's cliché
His lights were fading, beyond saving
He's seen better days

You knew him well
The smile, the wave, the fake false pretense
But the boy is grown, the mask is gone
He makes no goddamn sense

And you may ask who he was
The tale of a man who cared
The indie lover who always fell
A friend to all but himself

He always was, he always will be

He′s just your local acquaintance
He′s just your local acquaintance


The story goes like this
He'd never try to be in vain
The sweet façade, all mirage
A mirror gone insane

Besides that face was so overplayed
The game in your name is up boy
What else to say?

And you may ask who he was
The tale of a man who cared
The indie lover who always fell
A friend to all but himself

He always will, he always will be

He′s just your local acquaintance
He's just your local acquaintance

He′s just your local acquaintance
He's just your local acquaintance

He′s just your local acquaintance
He's just your local acquaintance

And so
The curtain closes, he took his bow
We applaud as he fell
To the ground
