the frame defect – eating crow lyrics

Loading...

there’s nothing worse than the same old story
every twist and turn foreseen from the opening
with acts of heroism and villainy well defined in antiquity
not a blur or a haze in continuity
preset failures and victories
no questions of morality
just the same old fashioned boring story

now, i’m captured
contained to the cage i helped populate
with the broken bodies of my crusade
the reminders of my shame

what if there’s something worse than fate?
than parts playing out as they were made
where the point of tension never recedes and spirals endlessly

sinking down to the bottom of the barrel
every step is a little deeper
tangled in chains with the rogues and the murderers
where i belong
for my crimes and accusations
for the vanity of thinking things would change
for thinking things could change

her eyes staring through the bars that keep us separated
victim from the culprit, her cataclysm on display
this is never what i wanted

this story is not an epic, but a self-fulfilling tragedy
where the road was poorly paved with good intentions

thinking i could satisfy the thirst for change
to shake them out of the apathy
bringing out the worst in me

i know now, in the hour of my death
at the end of this crusade
the undeniable, inescapable truth
i am everything i hate

my lady, justice
tell me, is this what i deserve?
tell me, is this my punishment?
weigh the scales
raise your sword
is this what i deserve?

“consider the age of all things.”
another day, another low life
“how dare you compare.”
another tragedy to catch the eye
another fool to stand against the tide
“who gave you your height?”
the cries of the victims
“cursed you with pride?”
of those in need
“how could you think you were worthy to see through these eyes?”
is this what i deserve?
“this is what you deserve.”
