It's so easy to paint the truth you're telling when you sell the frame to fit.
Speaking only in abstractions,
I never say what's really on my mind when it matters most.
Under the gun, I will wait to queue my laments
until you are six feet buried under the bus.
I am an accessory, aiding and abetting in the murder of your character.
Please understand that all my thoughts worth half a damn
will always be a sin too late
And if a resolution's marked by preservation,
I guess my mouth moves too goddamn quickly for my pace.
But a sword undrawn is just dead weight,
and I can't reconcile the shame.
In between the ivory, I am inevitably between
my mind and the words that I eat.
Oh, it's so hard to be a fuck's worth of the person I imagine myself to be.
Please understand that all my thoughts worth half a damn
will always be two steps ahead of me.
I'm finding it hard to be worth more
than the words I eat each day.
