lyrics

You think you know better than anyone; sharper than any knife, louder than any gun. Much to your chagrin, every win is a petty one. The battle’s already fought, the war is already done. Your father always told you, “Keep it steady, son.” Secretly, you hoped he’d soon take his own medicine. He had you feeling very alone, as if jettisoned, until the light bulb lit, no Thomas Edison. You found the remedy: all in the editing, considering the P.O.V. and who said the thing. But who’s listening? That’s what counts. The pain ain’t lessening or doubling down. Trouble is bubbling, deceit is brewed, served at the point of no return and imbued with a sense of burning and leaning, touching and needing; punched in the face in the nosebleed seating. But what is the place that will precede erasure of all that is held true? From the day he held you, he knew that the truth is just hope with a head for a home, never seeing that the self can be overthrown.
