About the Artist
Lyrics
Hunter eyes I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye I want to rip your lips off in my mouth Even in my greatest moment doubt The line between deceit and right now Simple math, it's how our bodies even got here Sinful math, the ebb and flow to multiply What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong? Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned Either way I imply to mitigate the guilt, we could align A perfectly constructed alibi To hush the violent guilt that eats and never dies In actual blame, they call me once the dark divides Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then? What if we've been trying to get to where we've always been? What if I was wrong, and started trying to fix it? What if you believed me? Everything is brilliant Oh, oh, oh What if I've been trying to get to where I've always been? What if we've been trying to get to where we've always been? Simple math, believe me, all is brilliant What if we've been trying to kill the noise and silence? What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it? What if it was true, that all we thought was right, was wrong? Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned I imply I've got to get it back then Oh, oh, oh
