The Lie You Haven't Met

Lyrics

It’s the constant observation of the moment I can’t stand The algorithmic hesitation slipping from my hand We are boxcars riding shotgun as the engine tries in vain Straining, ever hopeful that there’s something to explain

Be that as it may Is there something left to say

Why for How come Give it up Will be done No forgiveness. No regret Become the lie you haven’t met

I’ll meet you in the wasteland of the moments in between A seeming sympathetic more unconscious than a dream Don’t tell me how you’re feeling when your edge is never sharp You are not a complex puzzle and you will not fall apart

Be that as it may Is there something left to say

Why for How come Give it up Will be done No forgiveness. No regret Become the lie you haven’t met

The blisters reflect the idle tapping, not the effort shown You slide behind the mirrored door, remain the brief unknown I am the archer and the string, my arrow’s missing fletch The aim is high, the mark obscure, the target is none such

Be that as it may Is there something left to say

Why for How come Give it up Will be done No forgiveness. No regret Become the lie you haven’t met
