Mustard Gas - Life In Paper lyrics

Who can I trust? All I see is an empty sky Who can I trust? What good God Don't hear my cries? Who can I trust? These paper walls Are closin' in on me Who can I trust? Nothin' left for me to believe Crooked compa** to navigate And slanted motive, you narrate Cross the line to twist fate Lose the plot as you obdurate Prop yourself on a turn of phrase What are you hiding, why're you afraid? I see a bias lurking in your verbs Your actions speak louder than your words As you allege I must object You are the cause to the effect (Chorus) Dot your I's and cross your T's Build a cage of words, throw away the keys Paint a picture with foul adjectives Punish the subject with the subjective Steal the scene for your pronouncement Of a sentence for common nouns But you changed the name before the predicate An error of grammatical etiquette I stand alone with my independent clause She may be gone but I'm not the cause Left you to roll with your pa**ive voice Our outcome is not your choice Tried to set the tone and tense This life in paper you have spent Has left you cruel and discontent Rip the pages right out your books Blind to your words, deaf to your hooks Escape the tempo and the time I cut the bars and fall out of my lines (Chorus x2)
