These words and these phrases
Are for people and places
We never really knew.
They're only worthwhile
While their worth is on trial
For the damages that they do.

We watch what we say
Because we can't get away
With saying what we feel.
So we write it in lyrics
But with victories: Pyrric
The meaning's been repealed

Chorus:
These things we yell and scream
It's never really true.
And can't you see it's all a dream
We're just deceiving you.
Everyday we worry about the things we say and do
Nothing coming off this stage will ever make it through

The words from this pen
Show the places we've been
But how many really see
The efforts we make
To forget for the sake
Of anonymity?

Chorus
