I've become too familiar with this darkness inside
a cool manipulator of the "me" I provide
I say just what you want, the very moment it suits you
it seems I've forgotten things I wanted to pursue
Set aside on the back burner, waiting for the right time
I'm a pretty quick learner, I'm not stupid or blind
I've simply traded my opinion and value, for peace
offered up as communion, a valid trade for release
What I think doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
another rung on the ladder, with words stuck in my teeth

Words with which I console myself whenever I go unheard.
