Lyrics

Connivance

Take up your sword and
Lay waste to all these
So-called connections
Sold down the river

No place in your world
For their opinions
No need to know their
True lives

To wise up feels
A challenge so pointless
The ones you decide
Now know best

You strayed too far again
The last to wonder if
You burned it all to ash
To what end?

No compliance nor demand
Won't fit your ends
In service of a friend's death

Dark intimations
Haunt your positions
Combing the ruins
Of failed conversation

Something so toxic
Beneath the surface of
The pious decorum
You mime

The taste of blood
There’s nothing quite like it
The words hit their mark
No harm spared


You strayed too far again
The last to wonder if
You burned it all to ash
To what end?

No compliance nor demand
Won't fit your ends
In service of a friend's
Connivance
