The Human Abstract - Mea Culpa lyrics

We shared a common trade of reasoning out the years Of failed affections and faces to forget You should have told me That the ties that made it all worth the while Were quickly becoming a race to the blame I tried to gain the advantage over you It's plain to see there's nothing I could do or say I tried to gain the advantage over you A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain I could feel it coming Like a train wreck, rumbling off the tracks With every ounce of strength I strained to pay back that dirty money And the fortune abstract, but there's no feeling left intact For the victim is now a god Doling out judgment, strike with divining rod I don't want to get involved, looks like You're doing fine But when I Lay up at night I Can feel your eyes And I Can see your eyes And I Go rushing in to a world inside Where there's none in between, and nothing can be denied Struck down and stripped of pride That I Could forgive you for once in our lives But I Failed, and I Don't know why I'll Never know why I Failed and I Don't know why I tried to gain the advantage over you It's plain to see there's nothing I could do or say I tried to gain the advantage over you A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain
