As it all disappears... Can't you see that i'm sneering from ear to ear? I call it hardly a shame No consistency sustained It's synthetic to take your own advice But you can't avoid it Now it's dramatic to be your own disguise When the butcher's hand is mine There is no room to improve There's no demand for the product of your next move Fuel you were using to burn Is charring you in return It's synthetic to take your own advice But you can't avoid it Now it's dramatic to be your own disguise When the butcher's hand is mine Spare the world the speech We're out of reach As the tables turn No blood for the leech As the tables turn Spare the world the speech As the tables turn Bad karma eats you alive Contrived intentions will enver be revived Recalled to settle the score, less of you is more It's synthetic to take your own advice But you can't avoid it Now it's dramatic to be your own disguise When the butcher's hand is mine Spare the world the speech We're out of reach As the tables turn No blood for the leech As the tables turn Spare the world the speech As the tables turn

Girl, you use my grief as ammunition And I wonder if you notice And I know it's been a while And so I'm running out of focus While we can point out the blame I don't see it being as one-sided as you see Oh, just sit there and don't talk All this back and forth has got me pissed off Tell me to communicate But honestly, I feel like we ain't growing (growing) Saying it'd be easier for you if I would lay it in the open (open) And that's hopeless with my point misconstrued And it comes back to you Oh, no, no What I bring?

And it kills when I oppose you Hate to see it More to leave it I'll do everything I'm supposed to, oh-woah (oh-woah) What I bring?
