Split Tongue Songtext
von Magma Ocean

Taking notes while you′re looking at me
Sporting a smile
An empty frame on display
As soon as you get chance
To end your little dance
You'll be spreading shit like slurry on a field

God knows what you say when you′re not with me
You change your face more times than a man thinks of sex in a day
Still you want time with me
Can't understand
Why you would pretend
That you want be around all the people you see

If only everyone could see
The wilted roots beneath your plastic tree

Mouth, split neatly down the seam
Words slip out from both sides at once
Tongue, dividing what you say
Never knowing which half to trust


When you're smiling at me
Don′t know whose side I see

Whose side I see

So sick and tired of this shit
When will you learn
When will anybody learn
Don′t you know

Your words are worthless
Your friends aren't your friends
And what little respect I had for you is fucking gone

Mouth, split neatly down the seam
Words slip out from both sides at once
Tongue, dividing what you say
Never knowing which half to trust

Mouth, split neatly down the seam
Words slip out from both sides at once
Tongue, dividing what you say
Never knowing which half to trust

And as we sift our way
Through gallons of charade
A few redeem the waste


Through all of the pretend
There′s light down at the end
A glimmer left to see for me

Yes I know it's true
Even though they′re few
The honest do come through

And I
I've tried
To change the minds
Of those that twist the truth
It was never worth my time

It′s sad to say
They'll always be
Unfit for trust
Unfit for me
It's best to let them be

Hold on to those
That won′t turn their nose
Grip them tight
And keep them close
Cause they′re the few
That are worth your honesty
They're worth your honesty
