Ghostlimb - Exchange lyrics

Sincerity is a hard hand to play Cutting down all our old friends Awash in sarcasm and alcohol With the ban*lities of pubescence Where such arrogance is no luxury of the defeated And the notions leech circumscribed by boys' speech And all empathy is unseated When your knees get weak And your conscience falls fast asleep Do you water the native gra** Like the internalized weeds But the debate rages If we're detracted or augmented If our skins grow thick in cruelty or improvement I am sure some would stop us right there Under the auspice of containment And I am certain that some might find it scathing But wit sarcasm and criticism Form the basis of further conversation
