"Failing the Conversation" lyrics

What's got you so up in arms?
Got your precious little feelings, getting hurt?
Are you saving up the good stuff to throw it in my face?
Fingernails all black below the nail from throwing dirt
Suck it up

This helpless excuse for a cause
Isn't purpose, but fascination
And it's putting a strain on us all
Leaving bruises and lacerations
Yeah, we failing this the conversation

Guess you're charming off the pants of all the neighbors
Shaking hands and giving speeches and commands to empty bleachers
For reasons that I can't begin to try and understand
You have a knack for finding cracks just to cover them with sand
Suck it up

This helpless excuse for a cause
Isn't purpose, but fascination
And it's putting a strain on us all
Leaving bruises and lacerations
Yeah, we failing this the conversation
Yeah, we failing this the conversation

People walking around
In a suspended state
Traffic going by
All gas, no brakes
Until necessary accidents
Happen to relax
Another nerve, another fight
Another day, another night
I didn't say you weren't right
I'm just done with all the clamoring

This helpless excuse for a cause
Isn't purpose, but fascination
And it's putting a strain on us all
Leaving bruises and lacerations
Yeah, we're failing this conversation
Yeah, we're failing this conversation
