Pernicious

[Chorus]
I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still, I'm reeling
Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still, I'm reeling

[Post-Chorus]
(And still, I'm reeling
And still, I'm reeling)

[Verse 1]
Done throwing coins
In a wishing well
Break walls
That you have built yourself
I'm done with
All the lies you speak
No more
Won't turn the other cheek

[Pre-Chorus]
How could I have
Ever thought it'd be worth it?
You're falling farther, and farther
And farther, and farther apart
How is it you don't know?

[Chorus]
I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still, I'm reeling
Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still, I'm reeling

[Post-Chorus]
(And still, I'm reeling
And still, I'm reeling)

[Verse 2]
I'm growing tired
You manipulate
Your words
They further aggravate
I drew the line
Now will you make a move?
Weakness
That's what's inside of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I am still warm
From transgression, aggression
I still feel the sting
Can't help but question
And suffer the wrath
Of conditions created by you

[Bridge: Jeanne]
How could I have
Ever thought it'd be worth it?
We're falling farther apart
How is it you don't know?

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
(I'm wise enough to know
To know, know...
I'm wise enough to know
To know, know...)

[Chorus]
I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still, I'm reeling
Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still, I'm reeling

[Outro]
(And still, I'm reeling
And still, I'm reeling...)
