[Verse 1]

Too fed up to 'fess up

You lie to get results

A trust in true conviction

Tracking victims for printed fiction

[Verse 2]

Distressed, I'm projecting

Designed to show results

A devil on both shoulders

Getting even for getting older

[Chorus]

In one ear

While deaf against the other

Loud and clear

Loud and clear

Against the effort

[Verse 3]

I threw my hands up

I live to get results

A drug induced new abuse

Not used to not calling

So we're stalling

[Chorus]

In one ear

While deaf against the other

Loud and clear

Loud and clear

[Bridge]

Well, surely the person who let us down

Wouldn't soak up the credit to cash us out

[Pre-Chorus]

Patience pays to wait

We're the ones who wait for no one

Careful not to break

We're the ones

We're the ones

Patience pays to wait

In gestures far too minor, made too late

Gestures far too minor, made too late

Gestures far too minor, made too late

[Chorus]

Your ear

Now deaf against the other

Loud and clear

Loud and clear

[Outro]

Well, surely the person who let us down

Wouldn't soak up the credit to cash us out
