When we sparred
We slurred hurtful words
Not enough blood will quench your thirst
I won't ever know what you want
You won't ever know what you want
With pure hostility
The truth will set you free
Just can't say it
What you wanna hear
What you wanna hear
What you wanna hear
Just can't say
I tear myself into pieces
Your fingers under my skin
These words of shock and horror
Don't reveal anything
I failed again
To fulfil my remit
I failed again
I'll make movies instead
And you can call it off
You can pretend
The songs of empathy
The words upend
