Hard Words
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.
I fall with you; don't fall with me!
Weak inside today?
Glassy eyed from too much pain?
Selected humans overcome still,
To think beyond the rage
Whispered words to stab, the one who left you sad
Nothing gained, but you'll destroy what you can't have.
(What makes the hurting feel good?)
What makes the hurting feel good?
You're down, but not out,
And you're doing things you never should!
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
Someone's final day,
Emotion reaches through the pain
In happiness the spite is infallibly betrayed
White knuckles grip the chair, anticipating stares;
Resentment germinates into retributive hate!
(What makes the hurting feel good?)
What makes the hurting feel good?
You're down, but not out,
And you're doing things you never should
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
The times when justice is just inflicting...
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
The times when justice is just inflicting, mere psychological greed
Don't fall with me!
With me!
