lyrics

A Part One: words by Scanlon

I’ve been here before
But it’s never felt like this
At the surface of the stress
There’s an urgency
My crackling nerve is telling me
To just let go this time
But I just won’t break
What’s left of my good name’s at stake
And when it’s gone, it’s gone forever
It’s a shame; I should’ve seen it coming from a mile away
And now the only thing I can say

In my defense
I can’t find just where it ends
Until it ends

I’ve been struggling
I let the doubt collect like dust
Test elasticity of trust
And if it’s true
Then I’m sorry I’ve been lying to you
And I wish there was more I could do

In my defense
There’s so much to be expressed
Until there’s less and less
I can afford not to invest
It’s been so long now
I’ll live through this somehow

I would almost always say
“We will look back on this one day,”
But when that door is closed this time
I’m never coming back

No I just won’t break
No matter how much I have to take
And when we’re wrong
We’re wrong together
When it’s safe out there
I’ll come back out, it’s only fair
But I think you should leave tonight

In my defense
This is not coincidence
Expensive events
Left us all in such suspense
It was all in vain
The fury was boring and plain

I’ll be here again
And I’ll be just as angry then
Because it’s never going to end
