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
