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
