lyrics

Apex
lyrics ©2022 Rich Mattson

Guess you were really at your apex there
You could see both sides and you felt prepared to deal with it
But you turned your back and they all caught up
You won’t be drinking from your silver cup much longer
Not much longer

(Chorus:)
Pretty obvious to me
What you planned to do
I could see
And I don’t believe that
I was the only one
Who could see

Yes you were up on high and you cast the first stone
You’d be so helpless out on your own
But you still get by
Coz there’s a certain percentage that still love you
You’ll never shake ‘em no matter what you ever do
Don’t you know it too
(Chorus)

repeat first verse…end…
