absent in the things I've done
for the real
revelations come
to people so slow
frightening
won't stop now
before they're done
peel the skin
eaten underneath
rotten, rotten

drowning in understanding
swallowed poison keeps them well
but watching the other struggle through makes me Grin
should I tell the mindless stumbling through
that I have found it?

watching all the things they've done
this is real
when revolution comes
from misguided hands
frightening
and in all the idiots I see
thoughtless men
casting doubts on me
enlightening

drowning in understanding
swallowed poison keeps them well
but watching the other struggle through makes me Grin
should I tell the mindless stumbling through
that I have found it?

they'll turn the vice once
and slowly break your hand
will it come back to you now
just like it never left

drowning in understanding
            peel away their faith their fears have led them towards the worst one
swallowed poison keeps them well
            see the way their minds have glazed they're looking towards the worst one
but watching the other struggle through makes me Grin
            peel away their faith their fears have led them towards the worst one
should I tell the mindless stumbling through
            see the way their minds have glazed they're looking towards the worst one
peel away their faith their fears have led them towards the worst one
see the way their minds have glazed
but I have found it
