Discretion & Depressing People

(album: Proper - 2011)

You would write it
Then rewrite it
Then erase it

But I heard you had something to say to me
A stronger spine is all you need
To pick up the guts spilled on the floor
Experienced advice to help you with the choice of words so poor

Well I call it retaliation by definition
You should've known by now
What this resentment's all about
I've posted every kind of clue around this town
And everyone seems to see them but you
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

So you erased it
(But here I am)
Still front and center
(My cunning plan)
To see you never put your foot inside your mouth ever again

Well I call it retaliation at my discretion
You should've known by now
We deserve to see you be cast out
I've posted every kind of clue around this town
And everyone seems to hear them but you
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

Your lack of confidence is not a right to verbally abuse
I should've said this to your face
But what's the use?
It's the awful ones like you that keep the better people sane
So we could all be better off if you're the same

So I call it
Realization at my discretion
You should've known by now
What this resentment's all about
I've posted every kind of clue around this town
And everyone understands it but you
Whoa-oh-oh
