A State of Suffering Caused by the Sudden Sight of One's Own Misery -
Instinctive Repression, Perpetual Guilt, And Other Ways I Lie To Myself And Loved Ones
A Reading of Scales
Fortify my mental blocks
Can't find focus, Not my fault
Karma not as a belief
How I track my universal debts
Might reveal some bizarre god complex
Waiting on overdue payments
Surely I've done enough good by now
Withholding kindness until I get paid
As if I have any right
To expect from the lights
A reading of scales
Taking place overnight
Tell me I've risen above all my peers
I've overcome their evils!
As if they weren't already mine
Please forgive me of my sins
I've yet to commit but will in due time
Predetermined guilt as a core drive
Begging redemption, no self reflection
Read too much in every detail
Reinforcing what I hoped I'd unlearned
Tell me I've risen above all my peers
I've overcome their evils!
As if they weren't already mine
I wish I had been who I am now then
Kindness with a fucking price tag
Favors for favors, Sacrifice or selling short
Shallow love with profit margins
You of little faith, insured against Peter's Gates
Can't find focus, Not my fault
Karma not as a belief
How I track my universal debts
Might reveal some bizarre god complex
Waiting on overdue payments
Surely I've done enough good by now
Withholding kindness until I get paid
As if I have any right
To expect from the lights
A reading of scales
Taking place overnight
Tell me I've risen above all my peers
I've overcome their evils!
As if they weren't already mine
Please forgive me of my sins
I've yet to commit but will in due time
Predetermined guilt as a core drive
Begging redemption, no self reflection
Read too much in every detail
Reinforcing what I hoped I'd unlearned
Tell me I've risen above all my peers
I've overcome their evils!
As if they weren't already mine
I wish I had been who I am now then
Kindness with a fucking price tag
Favors for favors, Sacrifice or selling short
Shallow love with profit margins
You of little faith, insured against Peter's Gates
