Lyrics
Of Common Guilt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you still think that we are the same
You can't live with extra weight of shame
You think what you did applies on all of us
Hiding behind us from the pain
And I'm waiting someone to see that we are not to blame
And I'm starting to realize that no one would
Shielded by structure makes you brave
Address your failures in plural mode
Suddenly useful, for once not a slave
We're made to swear on the code
And I'm waiting someone to see that this is just a charade
And I'm starting to realize that you know well
You know what to do, what to say
While crowd points at us you move away
You know where to run, where to hide
So you can come back when all this fades
Like a snake
Sleek as you've learned to be
Like a snake
If you can't bite you just disappear
Beyond all moral fears
Like a snake
Someone else can always shed the tears
Tears are the sign of the weak
Nothing emotive should leak
It's not correct to admit that you have failed
Failure is a system thing
We can't be right
We do not see the wider perspective
We didn't see enough
We'd be replaced
Sleek as you've learned to be
Like a snake
If you can't bite you just disappear
Beyond all moral fears
Like a snake
Someone else can always shed the tears
And I'm waiting someone to see that this is just a charade
And I'm starting to realize that you know well
You know what to do, what to say
While crowd points at us you move away
You know where to run, where to hide
So you can come back now
Like a snake
Sleek as you've learned to be
Like a snake
If you can't take it you disappear
Beyond all moral fears
Like a snake
Someone else can always grit the teeth
