Self Preservation

lyrics

Apologies motivated by self preservation
won't catch me closing my eyes
better believe I see you and you'll get no accommodations
not impressed that you've been fooling the blind

another generation breeds another degradation
more watered down every time
redundant iteration useless intellect castration
standing tall without the help of a spine

offer apology as currency
yeah your money's no good here
go ahead re-neg that guilty plea
I never held my breath for honesty
you really never did have cred with me
yeah your face is no good here

Your insincerity cements my every reservation
saw you a mile away
is it exhausting living life with such precision calculation
to play the relevant fake
your insecurity exposed by overcompensation
is breaking down the facade
keep your sisters in their place and downplay every accusation
sell the fiction of a whitewashed adaptation

tried to tightened your laces when the other shoe dropped
but that tongue broke loose and now your down to socks
this rant deteriorates
I'm happy eating the rot
cos every word was penned for flying over heads full of rocks
and so the worse it's received
I say the better song
'til I respect your opinion no I can never be wrong
I guess I'll never be wrong
I guess I'll never be wrong
I guess I'll never be wrong
