Thoughts Words Scars

These tired ways Your everything Every thought, word, scar, dream Just idle fascination And we've justified Resentments undeterred Just like cards in a line Can't grow anything From malice overheard And it's all in our minds Struck down with accusations Yet satisfied to retaliate Compromise and let it wait Rapacious observations Left terrified, drawn, and reticent Contemplating where it went Discord and heresy Just like a tide of discontent Caught in a fraction of time Nightmares and reveries Rip through our consciousness instead Reason retreats from our minds Struck down with accusations Yet satisfied to retaliate Compromise and let it wait Rapacious observations Left terrified, drawn, and reticent Contemplating where it went Where it went And what remains Of every thought, word, scar Benediction can't replace what's wrong this time We've all resolved these appeals before Indoctrination like a trace inside your mind We just forget what we're searching for
