Explain Yourself Lyrics
I didn't ask you to,
Explain yourself to me.
The fact you feel you have to,
Is enough evidence to see,
Right through all the bullshit,
And stories you create.
No,
I didn't ask to be,
A game for you to play with.
Didn't ask for anything in return,
That wouldn't be asked by anyone else.
Respect is something I demand,
Worked hard enough to understand.
People say what you want to hear,
If something comes out of it for them.
Even some of the people that you're callin' your friends,
Are waiting for the second they don't have to pretend.
What I expect from you,
Is straight forward, no frills,
No lies unless they kill.
I don't wanna die from a truth that you never told,
A book that you never closed.
Read the rest, and come back when you've learned,
What you're supposed to.
I didn't ask you to,
Explain yourself to me.
The fact you feel you have to,
Is enough evidence to see,
Right through all the bullshit,
And stories you create.
No,
I didn't ask to be,
A game for you to play with.
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I expect the world, cause I give it in return.
And if you know me well enough, you know I burn bridges,
With flaky motherfuckers and stool pigeions.
They have their own agendas,
And the people that they burn,
Will eventually see everything crystal,
Then fire like an automatic pistol.
They didn't ask you to,
Choose the way you did.
All the wrong words, wrong looks,
Judgements passed, closed books.
Bad reactions, no apologetic actions took,
By either stubborn side,
So you return to your lonely life.
I didn't ask you to,
Explain yourself to me.
The fact you feel you have to,
Is enough evidence to see,
Right through all the bullshit,
And stories you create.
No,
I didn't ask to be,
A game for you to play with.
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
Didn't ask to be,
The one to make you see,
But you chose me.
You chose me.
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to...
I didn't ask you to,
Explain yourself to me.
The fact you feel you have to,
Is enough evidence to see,

And stories you create.

This is personally my favorite song on To The Pain. I believe the lyrics are pretty straight forward. Although I don't understand the line "With flaky motherfuckers and stool pigeons."
This is my vote for lyrical delivery! Awesome song.
