lyrics

Chronicling envy-worthy lives
Creates heavy, dawdle-loving sighs
Exclamations with no points
Seek out the self-unaware and anoint

Chorus
Oh despite insight and intuition
I still have such stubborn inhibitions
that leave my tongue so still
when I know
My voice longs to heal and let go

This temper tantrum
Could become the national anthem
It conveniently overlooks
The harder, more pressing truths
And if there are any objections
The chorus crescendos with aggression
If there is no rhyme or reason
To these obvious treasons
Are we guilty?
We are guilty by association

Chorus:
Oh, despite insight and intuition
I still have such stubborn inhibitions
That leave my tongue so still
When I know that
They don’t have the confidence
They don’t lack the confidence
The don’t have the confidence
Nah, they don’t lack the confidence
To make any real kind of changes
