Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We stumble in a tangled web

Decaying friendships almost dead

And hide behind a mask of lies

[Verse 2]

We twist and turn and we avoid

All hope, the salvage now devoid

I see the truth inside your eyes

[Verse 3]

So take all this noise to your brain

Send it back again

I'll bear the cost, shed my skin

Call you up and then

I'll say the words out loud

[Verse 4]

You can resurrect a thousand words

To deceive me more and more

A thousand words will give the reason why

I don't need you anymore

[Verse 5]

Time manipulates your heart

Preconceptions torn apart

Begin to doubt my state of mind

[Verse 6]

But I won't go down on what I said

I won't retract convictions read

I may perplex but I'm not blind

[Verse 7]

So take all this noise to your brain

Send it back again

I'll bear the cost, shed my skin

Call you up and then

I'll say the words out loud

[Verse 8]

You can resurrect a thousand words

To deceive me more and more

A thousand words will give the reason why

I don't need you anymore

[Verse 9]

I'll say the words out loud

I'll say a thousand words or more

Manipulation, fabrication

Conversation, annihilation

Oh, I'll say a thousand words or more

Damnation, frustration

Elevation, appropriation

Oh, I'll say a thousand words or more

[Verse 10]

You can resurrect a thousand words

To deceive me more and more

A thousand words will give the reason why

I don't need you anymore

[Verse 11]

You can resurrect a thousand words

To deceive me more and more

A thousand words will give the reason why

I don't need you anymore
