Gracious Songtext
von Michael Cera Palin

Found some direction along your lines of least concession
Paved red with me by yr best intents like you′re so much better off
Indifferential, your appraisal of potential
Glad you found a wise investment
Tell me what it's worth
No consolation, no severance, just shoddy explanations
Masquerading as confessions, like i haven′t heard it all
It's crawling up my chest
When i finally cough it out, can i be blessed?

I'll turn the knob now
Like your twisted truths
And wonder which you′d rather use

Oh, Gracious! You′ve kept your clench upon my shoulder
So gracious to spare me a rearview of what comes after
'til i carve my own path here
For a tail that′s good as gated
I try to cover my trail
Did i drift out of line, or did i learn my limits here?


Not to step back now
But i see a loss
When you reminded me of struggles toward the cause
Towards the cause

No, listen here now, motherfucker!
I'll tell you when the final words been said
Back turned to your mission now
Like the whole thing was jettisoned

You swore it would make sense
Even now, we′re still trying to
Swore I'd find solace indifference; Appraisals to join suit

Oh, Gracious! You′ve kept your clench upon my shoulder
So gracious, sparing me a rearview of what comes after
You swore it would make sense
Your far-flinging fictions
Who said that my closet would
Harbour the skeletons you're tired of holding to?

There's no need to convince me of what i already know i am
Why aim for extinction?
You′ll never lose them all
