When we began this
little masquerade
I felt that I would never be
one to keep moving
I thought I would stall out
a engine full of sugar
break down quick
and never run right.

I suppose that's why it
amazes me that while I've
made it this far, you've left me
all alone.

I suppose if
you "outwit outlast outplay"
you end out
one lonely bastard.

Do you like survivor? because in case you didn't know, thats kinda their motto or something. I'm pretty sure its copywrite as well.

I can say "outwit, outlast, outplay" because it's part of the reference I'm making. I'm not claiming that phrase as my own work, but rather quoted work from a different source. To be more sucinct, I can say "outwit, outlast, outplay" because it is a reference to Survivor, and a mental connection that I want the reader to make. Etc. Etc. Etc.

If I put it in quotes, isn't it quoted? Meh, "outwit, outlast, outplay" is copyright Survivor, and whoever came up with it.
