lyrics

I always knew
My inquiry
Would mutate its way into disaster
Eyes shut, patiently, and waiting
For something to go wrong

Unlucky me, I wasn’t meant to be
This handheld fattened pig

On and on upon this path we’re drawn
Together friend and foe alike

The battlecries of the empty
Echo through this crowded hall
Bounding freely from wall to wall to wall

We never listen, just wait to speak
And now the speaker’s gone and sprung a leak

Is it wrong to wish that I had clawed my way up?
As if it would have changed a thing
The recipe calls for a handful of suffering
To build that perfect character
And force the narrator to spare me
I avow: cast aside your differences
None of that matters now

No, I maintain, I deserve to be saved
I’m different, I’m special – inspiring
Hah, you’ve been played

Words fall short
Desperately clawing for ledgers
The fate of songs forgotten:
Well I can’t quite remember them
A lot of people out there don’t want to listen
They just want to hear
And many with the means to convey
Still hold back what they hold dear

So on this platform and through this platform
I need to craft words sincere
Even if each individual’s experience
Might differ
From ear to ear

None of them knowing quite who to despise
Through the hatred and tar dripping into their eyes
Maybe I’m a hypocrite
Maybe you are too
And that’s okay
It means we’re thinking

Interpret away, interpret your way
Out from this crawlspace
Never knowing quite who to despise
Through the tar dripping into their eyes

All it takes is one contaminant
All it takes is one

(Hail…see how our god was locked away)
(Hail…so I could rise up in his place)
