SPEECHIFYING (ANTHEM)

you made me weightless
shameless, but only for a time
I got lost in the lights and in tonight

so let's just face it
between you and I, you were never mine
all we did was kill some time

there's no mercy anywhere, and no one seems to care,
what don't you understand?
all my lies and alibis, and all my speechifying,
made sure that I stayed blind

true, love is shapeless, and makes even my
baseless lies and alibis
shrivel up in the daylight

I know nothing is painless,
when these old ghosts are holding me tight
sometimes, I'm too tired to try

there's no mercy anywhere, and no one seems to care,
what don't you understand?
all my lies and alibis, and all my speechifying,
made sure that I stayed blind

the truth is based on perspective
the least effective way to get to wrong or right
win or lose, we've already thrown the fight

I'm full up on weakness
this sickness, holding me behind
let me grow fast, cause it's past due time

there's no mercy anywhere, and no one seems to care,
what don't you understand?
all my lies and alibis, and all my speechifying, made sure that I stayed blind
there's no mercy anywhere, and no one seems to care,
why don't I understand?
all my lies and alibis, and all my speechifying, made sure that I stayed blind
the truth, is based on perspective

about

Better Living Through Chemistry Ottawa, Ontario

Better Living Through Chemistry are a straight up rock band, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks.

They have a bad case of broken strings, cracked cymbals, and buzzing mics. Schooled in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s, this band wears their influences (The Replacements, Faith No More, R.E.M., & Soul Asylum, (among many others) on their collective sleeves...like badges of honour.
