Honest To A Faultline Lyrics

I woke up on the wrong side of the board today

To find that I was robed in black

Always was the white knight to honor and obey

And guard my house from blind attack

It turns out that I have no business in such clothes

Designed for those who know the truth

Honesty's a grey-hued element of oaths

And empathy should die with youth

I'm not cut out to be human

No sleeves up which tricks can hide

My heart is bared and illuminated

I show my gambits with pride

Pieces on my new side are fallin' down in droves

I'm cornered each way that I face

The lightest ones among us deal the strongest blows

And my steadfast ground is givin' way

Altruism was my suit, my shield, my sword

Transparency my coat of arms

But traits like that will get ya bludgeoned, pierced, and gored

The animal that's born of harm awakens

I'm not cut out to be human

No skin off which barbs can fly

My teeth are bared and they're salivatin'

Is this how most go through life?

The tiles have shapelessly crumbled

Crushed by these fiends in disguise

Now the beast in me lumbers forward

And so the world must abide

My roar
