Lyrics

Pure

Affected by

What you had lost

They're not the habits

You'd protect at any cost

Blur the details

Of your hand

Anything your

Barren conscience can't defend

The limits of

Attention span

Successive thoughts you don't have

But you still pretend

They keep on talking

Anyway

Protected by what you

Know no one will ever say

Because you can't be pure

You're self-assured

Yeah

You can

You can

Can, can

Can

No
