Sister City - Room 222 lyrics

I've got nothing to hide Save for the space between my two vacant eyes Cause you can't well let every sick thing slip From the space between your two cracked lips Too soon to know, too far to go Two hours like this and I've dissected Every step I've taken, every second I am ashamed and only just awake I fill my days with emptiness And it gets so dense Too hard to parse The shrinking space between Self-defense and entitlement I fill my nights with alibis Giant tar-black lies In some failed attempt to vent Or supplement my imagined indifference Intensely insistent So give it up for giving in For stubbing toes on stones you've thrown It's everyone's fault but your own And owning up to only what You can't explain away With shrugs or waves or little phrases Predicted phases or fronts Change is a four letter word But numbers were never my strong suit Success is a ten dollar term But money's not something I could ever hold on to Change is a four letter word But numbers were never my strong suit It's all a joke I once was told And pa** off nightly as my own So give it up for giving in For stubbing toes on stones you've thrown It's everyone's fault but your own And owning up to only what You can't explain away With shrugs or waves or little phrases Predicted phases or fronts So give it up for giving in To find the key to please and the words to plead For increased credibility Amongst the proper tongues Who taste the trials and the triumphs And decide that neither one of them's enough
