lyrics

Distrust can distort your vision
Making you see double meanings when between the lines
There's just empty spaces
Not everything is a riddle
Written in rhyme to distract so the truth can escape
Without any traces
So pay attention to what is said
Don't listen to what is in your head
Step back and take a deep breath or two
Is that too much for you

Please don't take this the worng way
Even though you're not listening anyway
You hear whatever you think is fit
So take the wrong end of a short stick and run with it

It's easy to jump to conclusions
Especially when you're looking down from an Ivory tower
Waiting to take flight
So next time you fly off the handle
Out of the frying pan into the fire again
You will know I'm right
I'm trying to save you from yourself
It's for the sake of your mental health
Step back and take a deep breath or two
Is that too much for you

Please don't take this the wrong way
Even thought you're not listening anyway
Just hear whatever you think is fit
And take the wrong end of a short stick and run with it

Please don't take this the wrong way
Even though it's already too late
Your interpretation is counterfeit
So take the wrong end of a short stick and run with it

Drummer Mikey has never strayed from his skin-bashing tendencies, and his funk band background has brought the grooves that the tooth were after. ... more
