Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen? 
It's ink that lies, 
the pen, the page, the paper. 
I live, I learn. 
You will always take what I have earned. 
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning. 

Pre-chorus 1:

Our friends speak out in our defense. 
I pay ten deaf ears for two months rent. 
We burn they gallows they erect, 
and cut the nooses they tie for our necks. 

Chorus:

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation. 
Keep us comatose but audible. 
And I like it the farther I get out. 
We pass it off but it's all on us. 
Only common conversation, 
it took everything I got. 
And I like it the farther I get out.

Verse 2:

Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head. 
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted. 
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge. 
So take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.
