Pernicious

[Chorus]

I'm wise enough to know

These promises pernicious

The fruit of what was sown

And still, I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore

The wake you left is vicious

Your hate can't help but show

And still, I'm reeling

[Post-Chorus]

(And still, I'm reeling

And still, I'm reeling)

[Verse 1]

Done throwing coins

In a wishing well

Break walls

That you have built yourself

I'm done with

All the lies you speak

No more

Won't turn the other cheek

[Pre-Chorus]

How could I have

Ever thought it'd be worth it?

You're falling farther, and farther

And farther, and farther apart

How is it you don't know?

[Chorus]

I'm wise enough to know

These promises pernicious

The fruit of what was sown

And still, I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore

The wake you left is vicious

Your hate can't help but show

And still, I'm reeling

[Post-Chorus]

(And still, I'm reeling

And still, I'm reeling)

[Verse 2]

I'm growing tired

You manipulate

Your words

They further aggravate

I drew the line

Now will you make a move?

Weakness

That's what's inside of you

[Pre-Chorus]

I am still warm

From transgression, aggression

I still feel the sting

Can't help but question

And suffer the wrath

Of conditions created by you

[Bridge: Jeanne]

How could I have

Ever thought it'd be worth it?

We're falling farther apart

How is it you don't know?

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

(I'm wise enough to know

To know, know...

I'm wise enough to know

To know, know...)

[Chorus]

I'm wise enough to know

These promises pernicious

The fruit of what was sown

And still, I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore

The wake you left is vicious

Your hate can't help but show

And still, I'm reeling

[Outro]

(And still, I'm reeling

And still, I'm reeling...)
