I've been rationing guilt cause I don't call you enough to call you out But my stomach still turns when you speak with just teeth in your mouth What bent you so bad? You think the bird in your hand has an angle If nothing rippled your calm and sent waves through the things that you believe Then why won't you look at me? If to know better is to do better Then why do you do the things you do? I only know better because you said to do better "You catch the things the world throws at you" When you lay down like this You confuse peace with quiet I've been fashioning frames from the limbs that laid shape when we were younger But my arm's length has changed, I don't see you the same even in pictures What made you so mad? You took the things that you had and built a monument A back seat or a throne, but wouldn't you know it's hard not to look down From moral high-ground If to know better is to do better Then why do we do the things we do? I only know better because you said to do better "You catch the things the world throws at you" When you lay down like this You confuse peace with quiet Stolen innocence Or did you just let the buy it? Spending common sense Just to rent self confidence You confuse peace with quiet
