Evan Thomas Weiss - Required Reading lyrics

[Verse 1] Enemies and friends The scale, it tips towards unfortunate ends Weighs in on winters, now permanently inclement It's off and on, but often awful through the worst of it It "peels the paint from the walls" [Verse 2] Opinions on the shade will say the enemy is me Drag out the fever, drink deep the disease I'm not immune to a nice surprise A waste of time The expression in your eyes It's enough to "peel the paint from the walls" Opinions on the shade are always wrong [Bridge] The game is cloak and dagger Trashing homes to pay some rent Destructive accusations work for earnings better spent Suggestions say the wait is over To move along, but take some cover Beause it seems required reading bares no author as of late Obscured to keep the cautious culture safe from harm While mostly up to date [Outro] Enemies and friends The scale, it tips towards unfortunate ends Destroys the paint on my walls
