lyrics

How many close calls until I am spent?
Is it you or I that misrepresents?
Is there forgiveness in the lack of coexistence?
Is it wrong to imagine that nothing can grant it?
Does one just assume that it's there?
But nobody asks, 'cause no one wants to know

Behold! A modern miracle of how I've managed to inhibit my dialogue without ever once breaking character
A microexpression could give this away and I'd have nothing to show for those years I spent saving face
Willful stagnation, credibility withdrawn, I want to look straight ahead and forget what I saw
Yet my expression remains depraved. Yet my expression remains unwillingly depraved.

Against all better judgement, should I accept your misguided declarations as truth?
And in the event that I should be unconvinced, would you hesitate to recite that old adage once again: "Great minds think alike I suppose?"
'Cause you don't seem so sure of that this time around

Will every last scenario lead to sacrifice if getting nowhere close is all that will suffice?
Does there lie forgiveness at the edge of this impending descent?

"But you'll just have to give up the ghost, and this time it's literal."
