Lyrics to Slander
The day I found the body
I knew what had come
Walked around the entrails
Fear dissolved the bond
I saw the way it scared them
To go against the tide
When currency's a factor
They fell in line
All this time I was thinking
All the things that I would say
If it played out
Would I hang myself or drown?
When it played out
I would run right to it
Now my eyes are open
You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still
Be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run
Better never ever watch me fold for you
Better never ever not be sold untrue
I counted on my brother
To tell me what to see
Was I not the person
I thought to be?
(Tell me)
Little congregations meet behind my back
Clinging to opinion as if it's fact
We reflect one another in a way
Locking on to what we want
But I won't stab anybody in the back
And I won't have what I don't trust
You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still
Be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run
You may go where you like
But you'll end up here
End up here
Watched you cover your tracks
While you still run
Better never ever watch me fold
Slander
Slander
When I can't speak for myself
No one else should
You can say what you want
But it'd be wrong still
Be wrong still
You all cover your tracks
While you still run
You may go where you like
But you'll end up here
End up here
Saw you cover your tracks
While you still run
Better never ever watch me fold for you
Better never ever not be sold untrue
