Just when you think it's over
along comes a rush
of memories that were
sharp enough to
hide deep inside
protecting you

How many reasons do you need
to justify the way
you've run away
and wasted your life
just to cauterize the pain

Every subtle expression
gets magnified in my mind
Every insinuation
sends a chill down my spine
Every whispered intention
gets approved by the time I unwind

So let's blame our rapid descent
on a pattern of flagrant events
you can't recant this rant of disenchant
you're like a houseplant

You can't pick up the pieces at all
When you're silently nailed to the wall
you can't recant this rant of disenchant
you're such a sycophant

Every subtle expression
gets magnified in my mind
Every insinuation
sends a chill down my spine
Every whispered intention
gets approved by the time I unwind

Just when you buried your past
along comes a friend
who remembers the days
just hanging out
when it use to be cool
to live outside the rules

Just when your skepticism
starts to drain away
something happens
and you find a reason
to question your faith
blinding you

So let's blame our rapid success
on a pattern of flagrant events
you can't recant this rant of disenchant
you're like a houseplant

You can't pick up the pieces at all
When you're silently nailed to the wall
you can't recant this rant of disenchant
you're such a sycophant
