Anacrusis Explained Away Lyrics

Explained Away Lyrics

[Lyrics by J. Emery]



Donning a sweet contented mask

Acquiring bliss, a grueling task

Adoring a regretful past

Wondering how long it can last



Frequenting a cold empty void

And fearing I am, paranoid

Obeying this despondent way

The crumbling hopes, the price to pay



Contorted veil of false fulfillment

So easily explained away... explained away



Nothing changes the future past

Pretending to the very last

Contorted veil of false fulfillment

So easily explained away



Driving onward, must gratify

I'm posing in a satisfied lie

Disregarding this emptiness

And settling, now, for so much less



Contorted veil of false fulfillment

So easily explained away



Donning a sweet contented mask

Acquiring bliss a grueling task

Nothing changes the future past

Pretending to the very last



Contorted veil of false fulfillment

So easily explained away... explained away...

Explained away...
