On Oppression

I knew, for you, this time, I'd leave you guessing on the season
No reason, so many lips, controlling what you say but you not breathing
Don't thieve it, someve acquired a taste
A counterrevolution to apply
I get the look and need it all the time

Can you see when I smile ?
On oppression
I don't believe in, no masterpiece, I'm begg'in please
When I try not to forget you
I don't believe in
Divinities or affinities
But your striving for attention
I don't believe that
Hostility will deliver meHostility, delivers me

Inviting, luring, closer to the end
Yet not too far to look over your shoulder
He holds her, for so many days
You almost can't recall the way she bleeds you
Conceals you, memory clouds and frays
The bone is split and cast that never dries
Keep close for doubt is always on the rise

Can you see when I smile ?
On oppression
I don't believe in, no masterpiece, I'm begg'in please
When I try not to forget you
I don't believe in
Divinities or affinities
But your striving for attention
I don't believe that
Hostility will deliver me
Hostility, delivers me

It's going down, hold yourself to me
Tell them nothing
When I go, close behind me
Keep eyes shut tightly
They're calling for you (tell them nothing, close behind me)
Try to get to make it through, say it isn't true

Can you see when I smile ?
On oppression
I don't believe in, no masterpiece, I'm begg'in please
When I try not to forget you
I don't believe in
Divinities or affinities
But your striving for attention
I don't believe that
Hotsility will deliver meHostility, delivers me
