Lyrics
V.1
i cannot wrap my head around these thoughts
somewhere straining in between
me presiding in my lazyboy
and your prison screen
turn the air up and the channel down
much more comfortable now
insulated but unsettling
thoughts i disavow
CHORUS
what if i could be
the one to see
past your earthly disguise
and the scales in my eyes
what if i could be the one to see
what if i...
V.2
my burning rich-guilt keeps reminding me
of the shoes upon my feet
of irresponsible complacency
for all the least of these
CHORUS
OUTRO
i'm too far to say i'm sorry
you would never know anyway
take my comforts i don't want them
lost their joy for me today
