lyrics

this bitterness comes easy. to easily for you. and every word is drenched in vitriol and cynicism and a smile comes on your face as you tell me how much worse it gets. is this all that i have to look forward to?

the sound if your voice is the sound of dying hope and each hreath takes you closer to the grave. i will never see things the way you do and i hopei never will. i hope i never will.

why do you keep pushing these tired lines?

it’s not enough to know you’re dead inside. you can’t stand the sight of fire behind someone else’s eyes. why must you do this? why must you take this hope? do you feel any better poisoning others with the poison in your soul?

why do you keep pushing these tired lines?

there’s a consequence to a rhetoric of hope and a rhetoric of hate. all the venom that you spew comes crawling back on you.
