"Thoughts Words Scars" lyrics

These tired ways
Your everything
Every thought, word, scar, dream
Just idle fascination

And we've justified
Resentments undeterred
Just like cards in a line
Can't grow anything
From malice overheard
And it's all in our minds

Struck down with accusations
Yet satisfied to retaliate
Compromise and let it wait
Rapacious observations
Left terrified, drawn, and reticent
Contemplating where it went

Discord and heresy
Just like a tide of discontent
Caught in a fraction of time
Nightmares and reveries
Rip through our consciousness instead
Reason retreats from our minds

Struck down with accusations
Yet satisfied to retaliate
Compromise and let it wait
Rapacious observations
Left terrified, drawn, and reticent
Contemplating where it went

Where it went
And what remains
Of every thought, word, scar

Benediction can't replace what's wrong this time
We've all resolved these appeals before
Indoctrination like a trace inside your mind
We just forget what we're searching for
