Hotel Books - Friendly Crossfire

Текст песни

Sometimes even tolerance is void of compassion
So I’ll ask if we can somehow ration
Some fashion room for fast action, removal of passion
From the last stand we took against happenstance and
Move past the future of perfection with conviction
A numbness of remission or retreat of mission
Until we’re fishing for compliments and opposite opinions
And strategically place neglect of excuses
I’ve buried enough dreams, I’ve cut out the wrong seams
Stitch up these guts, let’s make us love, let’s make us bleed
It’s what we need, conform no facade baby
Make me believe it, make me see
It’s fortified past the bonified excuse past the lucid bigotry
I am the composition of notes to a melody
We’re sung by a chorus of familiar sympathy
I’m not worried about singing in key
With the confrontation of conformity
I’m just worried about you listening
I guess I was too much to ask for
I guess I don’t know who I am anymore
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I am confiding finally
Take this gun from me
I’m not going anywhere until these demons start to leave
I spoke in the tongues of angels, but every floral arrangement
Still didn’t turn human beings back into ideologies
They are all so much less threatening, shielded by the pulpit
A clashing gong doesn’t ring as deep as my pockets seem
With hands buried as far as the east is from the thirsty light
I love social justice just enough to smoke it socially
Like fear is the opposite of love, so let it be a lie regardless
I never knew you or your idol theology
I’m on my broken knees
Begging for your voice to see
I’m on my broken knees
Hoping these demons will finally leave
What if this is all a lie?
What if this is all a lie?
What if this is all a lie?
Then I don’t have to try
Promise me it’s all a lie
Promise me we’re just a lie
Promise me it’s all a lie
It’s all a lie
So I don’t have to try
