Explained Away

[00:14.98] Donning a sweet contented mask
[00:18.97] Acquiring bliss, a grueling task
[00:24.85] Adoring a regretful past
[00:30.79] Wondering how long it can last
[00:36.44] Frequenting a cold empty void
[00:59.37] And fearing I am, paranoid
[01:04.66] Obeying this despondent way
[01:11.25] The crumbling hopes, the price to pay
[01:20.53] Contorted veil of false fulfillment
[01:27.05] So easily explained away... explained away
[02:16.14] Nothing changes the future past
[02:22.10] Pretending to the very last
[02:28.76] Contorted veil of false fulfillment
[02:56.37] So easily explained away
[03:16.31] Driving onward, must gratify
[03:21.18] I'm posing in a satisfied lie
[03:26.75] Disregarding this emptiness
[03:33.71] And settling, now, for so much less
[03:42.83] Contorted veil of false fulfillment
[03:49.61] So easily explained away
[04:09.37] Donning a sweet contented mask
[04:14.39] Acquiring bliss a grueling task
[04:23.20] Nothing changes the future past
[04:29.29] Pretending to the very last
[04:58.92] Contorted veil of false fulfillment
[05:05.13] So easily explained away... explained away...
[05:24.68] Explained away...
