About the art of self-control

lyrics

Carve down the edges, sand it smooth
Polish, lacquer, stain the wood
then burn your work
it's gone and you refuse
to let it live
to live is to commit
and rumor goes you never did

Harden up the blisters on your hands
you'll bleed them on the closest thing before you let them idle
circumstances lead to chance
and chances tend to snap
so we clear out and we stay back

but you don't. You don't, and it hurts.
You don't! You don't! you just walk right up and bear it first
and hopefully it heals 'cause while we fear it will get worse -
you don't. You don't, and it hurts

Poison tastes so bitter on your lips
as if we're locked in coffee shops, the lights flick off,
and you're forced to relive every mistake
they snap back in your face
that's when the rest of us would break

but you don't. You don't, and it hurts.
You don't! You don't! you just act like pains what you prefer
and hopefully you'll change 'cause while our begging goes unheard -
you don't. You don't, and it hurts

You don't! You don't! You don't think I'd hold a higher standard
You don't! You don't! You don't think I'd keep so mild mannered
and you'd treat you like I'd treat you if you'd act like I deserved
but you don't. You don't and it hurts.
