Clarity

Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
Clarity, don't let me down
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me

Disgrace to my flesh and blood
My pain didn't say enough
Here and gone
Burned into the songs
The legacy has come undone

You said you didn't deserve this
That my truth struck a nerve
Well, I meant every word
I was disregarded
Dragged my skull to the curb

You fucked me up again
Mind inanimate, un-compassionate
As if I hurt you for the thrill of it
But you're deaf, self-entwined
My history is being undermined

Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me

Make of me, your scapegoat
Pull me to the shadows
Hold me ransom in chains
Cut out my tongue and curse my name

I'm the lamb of sacrifice for your mistakes
Lead me to the slaughter now, we're at a stalemate
Blame it on the past, tell me we're condemned
Nothing's gonna change, we're already dead

Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me
