lyrics
the wickedness that lies within our reason
self preservation is the only law
attend the daily mass or execution
but skip out in time to miss the denouement
our silent war is of private destitution
the social contract’s poised against the fact
the status quo demands no resolution
assured the image will remain intact
they’ll neither show nor tell of their dissonance
to uphold their willful pride in old taboos
and so your resolve dissipates
a little bit more every day
as you revise, and compromise
until no matter which side you choose:
you lose
it’s wrong, and forged with secret hatred
the ugly truth that lies within every act
you’ve gone to a place of ancient regrets
to contemplate all that’s lost for the sake of tact
you’ll only see and hear the difference
the errors you could not eliminate
as on and on you rearrange
the choices you have failed to change
but they’re delayed, it’s far too late
and no matter which side you choose:
you lose
