Yell for my attention
You can call me what you need
I won't wait for some protection
I'll just watch the silence bleed
Dissect my every movement
Yeah pick apart my brain
I wonder where the fire went
I really can't explain
No one wants to hear it and no one wants to say
We'll just plug our ears so tightly because we're better off that way
And if you really have an answer for the way I'm supposed to be
Then you can bask in my defeat
You can bask in my defeat
All hypocrites and heroes
We have our sacrifice to make
The clock keeps hitting zero
And I'm a sinner for your saint
More razorblades and ice cream
It's a balance still unknown
All coming off the high beams
Another insult to condone
No one wants to hear it and no one wants to say
We'll just plug our ears so tightly because we're better off that way
And if you really have an answer for the way I'm supposed to be
Then you can bask in my defeat
You can bask in my defeat
But don't retreat, don't you go
Don't you leave until you know
Beaten down, in the rough
Now you'll never get enough
But we've been warned
We've been through this before
No one wants to hear it and no one wants to say
We'll just plug our ears so tightly because we're better off that way
And if you really have an answer for the way I'm supposed to be
Then you can bask in my defeat
You can bask in my defeat
But don't retreat, don't you go
Don't you leave until you know
Don't you know? Oh don't you know?
