Clairvoyant (Acoustic Version)

Words are gone
There's tension on the surface only for so long
Silence again
Noises gone
Concentric circles reach me only for so long
Silence again

Buzz words and on
My skin I'll hear it only, only for so long
Silence again
Rhetoric is gone
This apprehension lasts only for so long
Silence again

We tried to walk away
But this noose brings us back
And justifies the initial act

In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns

When our clothes are gone
The words you whisper reach me only for so long
Silence again
When you are gone
The space you leave will be filled before too long

Keeping this at bay is like trying to hold the waves back
And trying to hold the waves back by filling every crack
By filling every crack
By filling every crack
Crack

In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns

And the problem with being right all the time
Is the shit I have to stomach every time you change your mind

We tried to walk away but this haiku brings us back
We study it for permission and it only mirrors what we lack
We tried to walk away and this fairy tale brings us back
Like our faces it only cracks

In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns

And the problem with being right all the time
Is you think you're doing god's work every time you change your mind
The problem with being right all the time
You pretend you're wearing brand new clothes, we pretend we're blind
And the problem with being right all the time
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I

So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I
