lyrics

Change of pace,
These god damn chords don't fit here.
My 'art' erased,
My patience burnt and seared.

Hey faceless face,
What's with the third degree?
"Oh would you shut up son,
You're thinking of Jeopardy"

Oh no I'm not,
These grey stone walls are all I've got

Everytime I write a song I know
I'll always get the lyrics wrong,
Without your company.

And these days they slide behind
These bars, my thoughts they form small scars.
With no comfort for these seeds.
You leave me with a third degree

No heinous crime,
Committed no act of treason.
But like water to wine,
My lies are without reason.

Pressure applied,
He cries 'this is not torture!"
And so beneath my wires,
I mutter words blue unlike water.

Oh no I don't,
I have no words, I do not know.

Everytime I write a song I know,
I'll always get the lyrics wrong.
Without your company.

And these days they slide behind.
These bars my thoughts the form small scars,
With no comfort for these seeds.

You leave me with a third degree.
