On an album marked by Lacey’s depressive introspection, religion, and death, we close on lead guitarist Vincent Accardi’s take on societal morality and the darkness that people hide in order to be seen as “good.”

Handcuffs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime

[Verse 2]
I'd break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you'd do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine
I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die

[Refrain]
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man

[Verse 3]
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd wait for you outside the courtroom—and taunt you
As all of your appeals were declined
I'd drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
Put the pedal to the floor, who could ask for more?
A fantastic way to kill some time

[Bridge]
You could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
You could try any way out
Way out
Way out
Way out

[Outro]
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin'
You're still lyin'
