It was strangely satisfying writing a song that was angry with myself instead of the world around me. It also taught me more about the problem, as song writing so often does for me.
lyrics
My heart is thoroughly twisted thinking of the things that I should have said
And for the words that did escape my mouth there'll be a hefty price upon my head
Cause it's easy to win the argument when there's no one on the other side
It's not so hard to write about the things that I won't abide by
Cause I've done this to myself
What's been done is done
I've done this to myself
I've shattered all I love
I can't take back all this anger, nor the things I believe are true
But I would take back how I said it all if I could see how it had hurt you
See the problem with being wise as sin, you can't let anyone inside
Cause the time will come, you'll be wrong but all the bullshit you pull you will justify
But I've done this to myself
What's been done is done
Now I'm a stranger to myself
I've shattered all I love
What's been done is done
I still haven't found the answers, no matter how hard I dig inside
And I apologize I'm not the man I've tried to be for all my life
See there's power in stepping through the veil, see what you know is true
It's the lesson I take away with me, though I've lost all the love I had from you
I’m sorry that I let it slip away, but just allow me to explain that it goes like this
What's been done will live on.
