lyrics

Creep in the door wait for someone to notice
Hang on the wall, just to see if it’s focused
I can’t see past what’s really important
Follow me down, I’m taking you there

Finally mentioned the thing you were hoping
I’d help you shortcut your way to the floor
Blacked out and mostly gone to the world
Hang on a second, it’s all that you thought

Stupid to think so, don’t stop to tell me
I should have read better, seen what they saw
On the outside, where earshot goes further
They’re burning me still with their hindsight and all
Burning me still with their hindsight and all


I went home to play the enemy
I never thought I’d see the day
Intervening forces reckon it suits me
And that’s the saddest thing
I never thought I’d like it so much
To see such suffering, but…
Provocation… provocation made me, is that wrong?
I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
I couldn’t say


Mood reading one way, words there to cover
Contempt etched on every line of your face
Taking comfort knowing no one else matters
Guiltless enough, still you take and you take

It’s been a long time since someone sat you down
Told you words that you heard and took in
Words that weren’t just there to flatter
Inflated self-worth, vein enough as it is, so…

Was there something you came here to say?
Time spent looking after yourself
Depleting feelings, leaving things uncompleted
Had me reeling, didn’t know, know what I felt
Had me reeling, didn’t know what I felt


I went home to play the enemy and
I never thought I’d see the day
Intervening forces reckon it suits me
And that’s the saddest thing
I never thought I’d like it so much
To see such suffering, but…
Provocation… provocation made me, is that wrong?
I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
I couldn’t say


I went home to play the enemy and
I never thought I’d see the day
Intervening forces reckon it suits me
And that’s the saddest thing
I never thought I’d like it so much
To see such suffering, but…
Provocation… provocation made me, is that wrong?
I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
Is that wrong? I couldn’t say
I couldn’t say
