Thought Riot – Hard Words lyrics

I fall with you; don't fall with me!
Weak inside today?
Glassy eyed from too much pain?
Selected humans overcome still
To think beyond the rage
Whispered words to stab, the one who left you sad
Nothing gained, but you'll destroy what you can't have

(What makes the hurting feel good?)
What makes the hurting feel good?
You're down, but not out
And you're doing things you never should!

Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!

Someone's final day
Emotion reaches through the pain
In happiness the spite is infallibly betrayed
White knuckles grip the chair, anticipating stares;
Resentment germinates into retributive hate!

(What makes the hurting feel good?)
What makes the hurting feel good?
You're down, but not out
And you're doing things you never should

Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!

The times when justice is just inflicting...
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
Hard words for us! - The discontent
Prime directive, to heal, not resent
Hard words! - Desist the hate cloaked as defence!
The times when justice is just inflicting, mere psychological greed
Don't fall with me!

With me!
