lyrics

He was born to be the king of shame
Long before his teeth were stained
By coffee and contrived truths
That passed and played
The theoretical rhetoric and the blame

Took aim at you
Do they grab you
In a gentle refrain
Post the crisis campaign

Maybe his love is scorn
Or therein lies the problem
He was born

And what'd he do that for
It's a long way down
When logic seeds the ground

Maybe the money's gone
And the plans changed
Or the few that followed have flown away
You can beg him not to beg you to stay
Like in the old days

But you've gone further now
Further now than fault fell
From the frame he fails in
Feeling sorry

But wait
Do tears still follow you
No matter where you lay
In a world where babies are bastards too
No one's safe
From the choices that he made
To remain the king of shame

And therein lies the problem
He was born

DENT

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator
