My impulses got me going, screaming like a rage from Hell
And at the time I didnt notice that my anger didnt even compel
You into forgiveness for something that you didnt do wrong
It just seems to ease my tension when I make you small

I didnt see you coming through the door for convenience, simply here to just to find an end
Before we begged to differ, we should have seen this come around the bend
So now I scoop some of this id and toss it out of my brain
I didnt realize it then, but things can always change

When I swam this way I didnt know the power of the wake
The magnitude of the situation swallowed me up into fate
I washed upon the shore struggling for just one breath
This isnt what I wanted I could only wish for death, with an easy passing

If you are tired and restless, Ill hammer the intimacy out of my head
And when my fingers are calloused, I wont even touch your breast
Because I know youve been careless with your stumbling through the crowd
I know that I didnt love you then, and I still dont love you now

I believe you wanted this to be special, nothing but actions based upon a lie
But I still feel nothing, inside of me my heart doesnt even cry
It seems that I cant educate you, but I can try to educate the rest
But speaking to them with my voice still doesnt seem the best

- Guitar solo -

When I swam this way I didnt know the power of the wake
How my life would change so much based on one small mistake
The lie of one big clich crumbling to the ground
Although I never stopped searching it cannot be found in this lifetime
