"Slander" lyrics

The day I found the body I knew what had come
Walked around the entrails, fear dissolved the bond
I saw the way it scared them to go against the tide
When currency's a factor they fell in line

All this time I was thinking
All the things that I would say
If it played out would I hang myself or drown?
When it played out I would run right to it

Now my eyes are open

You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still, be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run

Better never ever watch me fold for you
Better never ever not be sold untrue

I counted on my brother to tell me what to see
Was I not the person I thought to be? (Tell me)
Little congregations meet behind my back
Clinging to opinion as if it's fact

We reflect one another in a way
Locking on to what we want
But I won't stab anybody in the back
And I won't have what I don't trust

You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still, be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run
You may go where you like
But you'll end up here, end up here
Watched you cover your tracks
While you still run

Better never ever watch me fold
Slander
Slander

When I can't speak for myself
No one else should

You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still, be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run
You may go where you like
But you'll end up here, end up here
Saw you cover your tracks
While you still run

Better never ever watch me fold for you
Better never ever not be sold untrue
Slander
