CONDESCEND

Words and Music by Matt Theberge

The flickering light from the porch

can't be from your front door

the desperate means of your self-defense

won't help me through what never ends

its the fear of me that keeps you here

doesn't mean you have to leave

i hear your dropping all your dreams

in this perfect life, its not what it seems

it can't be.. ll washed away

and you se, why i always say

"i can't be washed away, in a lonely state"

you think that you've seen it all

the last thing was my fall

its so hard to tell you the truth

when the fires gone, theres nothing to prove

so get up and walk away

i see you picked up one of my traites

this may be the end for now

but baby, you'll be back some how

it can't be.. all washed away

and you see why i always say

"it's all washed away, in a lonely state"

Can you, can you be the one.. to love someone?

you can't be.

Con you, can you tell someone to see, what it does to me?

hold me now, holding on.. you'll never see

It calms me down.. tells me how.. How to let it be

You condescend most everyday

To try and escape the lonely pain

I whisper it inot your ear

Before I disappear
