So many ways to cure your pain
But you are picking the poisonous berry
It’s always the same, you never complain
But we can see through your painful body
And the way she sings to your innocent ears
Has got to twist your generosity
So many roads to break away
But you are not the one I could not care about
Some of these dogs were raised to kill
But hey, I’m throwing hatred back at them
He was having a hard time to speak his mind
But he could use some beauty in the sunlight
And the way she sings to his innocent ears
Has got me going for quite some time
It’s always the same when I don’t complain
Problems keep coming back even bigger
I was looking for one light in a fading glow
And the sound in your silence in a broken chore
There’s a crisp on your shoulders as you watch me go
All lines shaped a different mind now it’s looking at you
Some of these kids weren’t raised to feel
I know you’re swarming with social graces
Said I’m giving too much time to share my thoughts
But she will spoil you until you’re thankless
And the way it rings in your delicate ears
Has been erasing a lot of time
It’s always the same, when you don’t complain
Problems keep coming back even bigger
I was looking for one guide and there’s something more
Did you remember what I was asking for?
There’s a crisp on your shoulders as you watch me go
All lines shaped a different mind now it’s looking at you
I’ve been watching your hold expand, now you are trapped in a sour end
You and I spent half our time, but you’re pegged in another age
Seven hours of glass won’t stand, are we alive with those heavy hands?
It’s all fine if you didn’t mind
But we’re walking back home
I’ve was looking for one light in a fading glow,
But the sound in your silence in a broken chore
There’s a crisp on your shoulders as you watch me go
It’s all fine if you didn’t mind
But we’re walking back home
It’s all fine if you didn’t mind
But we’re walking home.
