Context - O'Brother

I think you read out of context

Desecrating all the words that I had wrote

Maybe you just hadn’t noticed

There’s an urgency in every single tone

I try and reason with my inability to gain control

But we were born out of violence

The infernal evidence of all we know

Trade my wounded pride for some piece of mind

And finally find some reckoning

Trade my wounded pride for some piece of mind

And find the time I lost

I try and analyze the part I mean to overthrow

I can’t illuminate a darkness visible all of it’s own

I try and reconcile the thoughts that I have come to fear the most

But we were born out of violence

Suffocating on the first breath we took

Trade my wounded pride for some piece of mind

And finally find some reckoning

Trade my wounded pride for some piece of mind

And finally find some reckoning

On the other side of the dark divide

I trade my wounded pride for some piece of mind
