Spent from PEACEMINUSONE2020 by Rorschach Test
Spent echos the feelings futility and nihilistic philosophies embraced by Baker at the time of writing. The hopelessness and addictive behaviors recorded in this track would be replaced by far healthier thinking in later life. A good point of reference for those who may find themselves between the lines of this single.

Lyrics
“Spent” by James Baker
From the album, Peace Minus One

Whatever happened to love
She’s like a used-up whore
She doesn’t work anymore
She stopped feeling
I’m in her washing machine
Except I never get clean
I am a permanent stain
It’s not working
Add one more fuck to the pile
Who cares, I don’t
Besides, we both know it well
It’s not working
At least I’m not in denial
I don’t give a fuck
You and everything that you say
It’s not working
Chorus
I’m damn well spent
Your damn well spent
It’s damn well spent
It’s damn well
Whatever happened to drugs
It’s just a game that I play
To make the pain go away
I’m still hurting
No matter how much I take
It’s never able to give
One single reason to live
It’s not working
Add one more hit to the pile
Who cares, I don’t
Besides we both know it well
It’s not working
At least I’m not in denial
I don’t give a fuck
You and all these games that you play
It’s not working
(Chorus)
How can I forgive you?
Turn the other cheek
It’s already black and blue
Like throwing matches at the Sun
I spent myself and still have nothing left to show
I lost the key to free the chained-up part of me
Whatever happened to God
He’s playing hide and seek
The earth he gave to the meek
Has stopped turning
I am a piece of his clay
The kind that gets thrown away
When you learn how to burn, you stop feeling
Add one more god to the pile
Who cares, I don’t
Besides, we both know it well\
It’s not working
At least I’m not in denial
I don’t give a fuck
You and everything that you say
It’s not working
(Chorus)
