Appeal to Reason Songtext
von The Funeral Portrait

With shoulders dropped and feeble arms outstretched
A heavy heart defeated by circumstance
By one′s own volition to create life
The other
The lover, plans their escape

Now the rest that I can't get off my chest
We′re waiting for it

The blood was thicker than the water of the womb
(We're orbiting the truth, orbiting the truth)
This all became a huge mistake
It's conversation for procreation′s sake

Let′s stifle our regrets
Because we always do what's best
This empty void is reminiscent of the night
The stars collapsed around the beckoning headlights
We held our breath


The blood was thicker than the water of the womb
(We′re orbiting the truth, orbiting the truth)
This all became a huge mistake
It's conversation for procreation′s sake
The blood was thicker than the water of the womb
(We're orbiting the truth, orbiting the truth)
This all became a huge mistake
It′s conversation for procreation's sake

The ever-growing conviction
Just throw it all away
With guilt controlling the movements
When she told me, I felt nothing
God forbid I feel anything

The ambulance arrived to find that no one had survived, safe for just one child

The blood was thicker than the water of the womb
(We're orbiting the truth, orbiting the truth)
This all became a huge mistake
It′s conversation for procreation′s sake
