Counter Act [Extended Version]

It's in your look
There's no doubt
I know exactly what it's all about
It's not what you say I'm listening to
Like the air around us, I can see straight through
To your real intention, what you really mean
Hidden in the silence, in the space between
You take advantage, I'm not taking that
I made my move, it's a counteract
It's the cold limp hand in an open palm
It's putting poison in the healing balm
It's eyes that look all around the room when to
Whom you're talking is right in front of you
The words you use never break the ice
You take what's yours and then another slice
You take advantage, I'm not taking that
I've made my move, it's a counteract
Let's make it clear, there's no time
For placing curves on a smooth straight line
Shades of gray only make a haze
Turn a simple path into a complex maze
Standing people up just to knock them down
Keeps the vicious circle turning round and round
You take advantage, I'm not taking that
I've made my move, it's a counteract
I want to move away from the hissing of the spent lie
And the old terror's continual cry
Growing more terrible as the day goes over the hill into the deep sea
I have longed to move away but am afraid
Some life yet unsaid might explode out
Of the old lie, burning on the ground
And crackling into the air, leaving half blind
There's no time for placing curves on a smooth straight line
Standing people up just to knock them down
Keeps the vicious circle turning round and round
