Slip passed the first way we went about Deciding the exact moment When faith became doubt Killing fields are open again, or so they Tell me and so they kill me Each night a new death to celebrate the blood Violence over silence or so they tell me
But I wouldn't have it the same way you buy and sell me
Slash and slander marks a name in this game And "it's only letters", she tells me "Only letters that I've thrown away" Heart stop motion, cardiac silence For a handful of notions Tangle the cord itself, tied back to avoid the burn
Strangle the hordes yourself No way I'll feel you and never learn
Giving up, giving in, slipping up on trying once again
Trimmed and tethered all around The last call to appease you all We drink from the same glass A courage unforeseen yet deeply suspended Opportunity to even the score once more extended
Take from me as you will, force fed failures moving inward still
