The Second Guessing Songtext
von Ampersandre

I feel like it′s all gone sideways
Where the bottom's dropping out
And common sense is on the escape
And now we doubt the world is round
Try get creative with the duct tape
To re-package this somehow
And then we′ll chalk it as a bad phase
And we swear we're better now

We're grinding up
These bitter pills
Cuz they keep us numb
And we′ve got refills
And if saying sorry
Is the only cost to bear


Let go of this parted sea
So, we can′t find a way
To breathe life into our second guessing
Give us distance in between
Before we find a way
Behind a fool's parade to drag us all back down

I thought we made the turn
It felt just like success
But everything we learned
Was only for a test
And now were vacant
Like we never knew at all
And now, they′re censoring the pages
So, we don't have to own our wrongs
We hope the newer generations
Never discover what we′ve done, while

We're grinding up
These bitter pills
Cuz they keep us numb
And we′ve got refills
And if saying sorry
Is the only cost to bear


We better let go of this parted sea
So we can't find a way
To breathe life into our second guessing
Give us distance in between
Before we find a way
Behind a fool's parade to drag us all back down

But we can′t stay
There′s always change
It's always rearranged
What′s your future look like, anyway?
The bygone days
The wars we wage
Our dirty hands can be from
Building bridges, not digging graves

Now they're breaking out the Kool Aid
Asking ′bout your birthplace
And I'm biding my time
And now I′m toning down my language
So no one misses
Me when I duck out of line
I feel like it's all gone sideways
But if we can somehow survive
Then maybe we can find a better way
To filter some of this behind

We're grinding up
These bitter pills
Cuz they keep us dumb
And we′ve got refills
And if saying sorry
Is the one thing that means nothing today

Let go of this parted sea
So, we can′t find a way
To breathe life into our second guessing
Let the waters wash us clean
So we don't find our place
Behind a fools parade that drags us all back down
Yeah
We all back down. We all back down
