Only Crime - Contagious lyrics

rate me

I’m realizing just how sorry I truly am

For all the shame and self-deception

Like it all just came apart

Each cause, each pause, finite, imperfect flaws

I’ve reached my utter zenith, tearing through this shallow moderation

Pray there’s no cause to pacify what’s left undone

Just lucid traces of a path we chose to stray from long ago

What kind of fool revisits blights and contradictions once he’s free?

“Just let it go” she said, along with every tired turn of phrase I’ve ever heard

It leaves me empty because I know she’s got it right

And I’ve been so passive, more contagious than inspired

A little light breathed into darkness where nothing ever really grows

Pray there’s no cause to pacify what’s left undone

Just lucid traces of a path we chose to stray from long ago

What kind of fool revisits blights and contradictions once he’s free?

Your best taints the rest, fools like up and they swallow

Following the same apprehensive state of mind that we follow down

So many wasted days hiding out in the shadows

Sorrow filtered through the cracks of what becomes of tomorrow

Nothing left but the truth, shine a light and we got it

Draw yourself to a place where the lies are forgotten now

Prepared for the worst of what becomes of the others

Just one more life for me to sacrifice
