Long Musical Intro)

(Verse 1)
You wore a clean white wide grin
With ink dabbed all over your hands
You took the long way around man
Banking on the back-end of your evil plan

You only fed them half the truth
Then watched the vast conspiracies spread
D N A lifted from a white paper cup
Passed from a mouth to mouth transfer instead

(Pre-Chorus)
Now the room won’t look at you
Even when you open-up and speak
Every step that you eventually took
Left a crack in the concrete street

(Chorus)
Desperate measures
I publicly said it was for your own good
Desperate measures
But I know your game and what you would
Spin that storyline long and thin
Till it sounded like it had to be true
Desperate measures
Coming back to haunt you
Haunt you

(Verse 2)
You crossed the established line at dawn
With your name still shining very bright
Then you locked the door on doubt
And called it a chose that was made right

You asked me to extend a clean slate
From a filthy page that upon you landed
Then stood in the ash of lust and degradation
That you swore that you did not have a hand

(Pre-Chorus)
Now the room won’t look at you
Even when you open-up and speak
Every step that you eventually took
Left a crack in the concrete street

(Verse 3)
And if they try to insist and ask again
Will you be able to hold that important line?
Will you swear that you never knew
What you would unconsciously leave behind?

The truth has a certain way of creeping to the top
Of learning your intentions in your face
It stands proudly in the daytime light like a prop
And it does not shiver, quake or shake

(Pre-Chorus)
Now the room won’t look at you
Even when you open-up and speak
Every step that you eventually took
Left a crack in the concrete street

(Long Musical Jams)

(Outro)
Now the air tastes tainted and sharp
When you say that you’re  “innocent”
Every word that you drop
Feels pretentious and pre-written
