"To Suffer Is The Name" lyrics
If we're buying time, why do we feel so anxious?
You can think in terms of pressure and release
But when you keep it all inside, you'll see nothing changes
And the apprehension punctuates your grief
Yet, while fortitude remains
You've gotta tell yourself
Be satisfied with modest gains
You can't be anybody else
As the artifice of self returns to haunt you
Recall sensations aren't as static as they seem
And when the guilt arrives on time to lie above you
You won't remember all those bitter tragedies
Yet, while fortitude remains
You've gotta tell yourself
Be satisfied with modest gains
You can't be anybody else
So, just wash me away
Forgiven all my faults
The fragments still remain
Never out of time
Keep swallowing my shame
Forever in my thoughts
Your face, another part which falls away
To suffer is the name
And nothing feels the same
You can think in terms of pressure and release
But when you keep it all inside, you'll see nothing changes
And the apprehension punctuates your grief
Yet, while fortitude remains
You've gotta tell yourself
Be satisfied with modest gains
You can't be anybody else
As the artifice of self returns to haunt you
Recall sensations aren't as static as they seem
And when the guilt arrives on time to lie above you
You won't remember all those bitter tragedies
Yet, while fortitude remains
You've gotta tell yourself
Be satisfied with modest gains
You can't be anybody else
So, just wash me away
Forgiven all my faults
The fragments still remain
Never out of time
Keep swallowing my shame
Forever in my thoughts
Your face, another part which falls away
To suffer is the name
And nothing feels the same
