Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen?
It's ink that lies, the pen, the page, the paper
I live, I learn you will always take what I have earned
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning

Our friends speak out in our defense
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent
We burn the gallows they erect
And cut the nooses they tie for our necks

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
But I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I liked it the farther I get out

Once said always said
I will hold the past over your head
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge
So take heart, sweetheart
Or I will take it from you

I slip concealed back to the keep
Concede to do the work for free
We prey as wolves among the sheep
And slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
And I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I like it the farther I get out

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
And I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I like it the farther I get out

    You know, I got this CD last year and I only realized that this song ins 7 minutes long five minutes ago. I've listened to it 52 times... ... ... anyway, yeah about the hotel california part.

    This is a really amazing song though, I really, really love it. Something about Deja's feel is really great.

    I always thought this was about a failed relationship, but the record label thing makes sense now, except "We're comatose, but we're audible" always seemed to mean to me like, we're here and we're listening. Cause sometimes when people fall into coma's they can still hear the things around them, people speaking.. etc. It might not be true because I read a book about a kid like that when I was.... uh.. 9. But I think it's like people not realizing you're there. Have you ever woken up and people are talking about you cause they think you're sleeping? Like that.

    Anyway, thats what I think, idk if its right, but overall it's a great song, my favorite lines are;

    I will hold the past over your head I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge

    :) Just great.
