Mea Culpa - The Human Abstract - Lyrics video free download

We shared a common trade of reasoning out the years

Of failed affections and faces to forget

You should have told me

That the ties that made it all worth the while

Were quickly becoming a race to the blame

I tried to gain the advantage over you

Its plain to see theres nothing I could do or say

I tried to gain the advantage over you

A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain

I could feel it coming

Like a train wreck, rumbling off the tracks

With every ounce of strength

I strain to pay back that dirty money

And the fortune abstract, but theres no feeling left intact

For the victim is now a god,

Doling out judgment, strike with divining rod

I dont want to get involved, looks like youre doing fine

But when I lay up at night, I can feel your eyes

And I can see your eyes, and I go rushing in to a world inside

Where theres none in between, and nothing can be denied

Struck down and stripped of pride,

That I could forgive you for once in our lives

But I failed, and I dont know why, Ill never know why

I failed and I dont know why
