[Verse 1: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]

Absent in the things I've done

For the real revelations come to people so slow

Frightening

Won't stop now before they're done

Peel their skin eaten underneath

Rotten, rotten


[Chorus: Miller & Gardner]

Drowning in understanding

Swallowed poison keeps them well

But watching the others struggle through makes me grin

Should I tell the mindless stumbling through

That I have found it?

[Verse 2: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]

Watching all the things they've done

This is real when revolution comes from misguided hands

Frightening

And in all the idiots I see

Thoughtless men casting doubts on me

Enlightening


[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]

Drowning in understanding

Swallowed poison keeps them well

But watching the others struggle through makes me grin

Should I tell the mindless stumbling through

That I have found it?

[Bridge: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]

They'll turn the vice once

And slowly break your hand

Will it come back you now

Just like it never left?

[Collision: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]

Peel away their faith, their fears have led them towards the first one

(Drowning in understanding)

See the way their minds have glazed, they're looking towards the worst one

(Swallowed poison keeps them well)

But watching the others struggle through makes me grin

(Peel away their faith, their fears have led them towards the first one)

Should I tell the mindless stumbling through

That I have found it?

(See the way their minds have glazed, they're looking towards the worst one)


[Outro: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]

Peel away their faith, their fears

Have led them towards the worst one

See the way their minds have glazed

But I have found it
