Pernicious Songtext

von All That Remains

I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still I'm reeling

Just throwing coins in a wishing well
Break walls that you had built yourself
I'm done with all the lies you speak
No more will turn the other cheek

How could I have ever thought it'd be worth it?
You're falling farther and farther and farther and farther apart
How is it you don't know?

I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still I'm reeling

I growing tired, you manipulate
Your words, they further aggravate
I drew the line, now will you make a move
Weakness, that's what's inside of you

I am still warm from transgression, aggression
I still feel the sting, can't help but question
And suffer the wrath of conditions created by you

How can I have ever thought it'd be worth it?
We're falling farther apart
How is it you don't know?

I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sown
And still I'm reeling

Mistrust forevermore
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still I'm reeling
