Mea Culpa - The Human Abstract - Lyrics

We shared a common trade of reasoning out the years
Of failed affections and faces to forget
You should have told me
That the ties that made it all worth the while
Were quickly becoming a race to the blame
I tried to gain the advantage over you
Its plain to see theres nothing I could do or say
I tried to gain the advantage over you
A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain
I could feel it coming
Like a train wreck, rumbling off the tracks
With every ounce of strength
I strain to pay back that dirty money
And the fortune abstract, but theres no feeling left intact
For the victim is now a god,
Doling out judgment, strike with divining rod
I dont want to get involved, looks like youre doing fine
But when I lay up at night, I can feel your eyes
And I can see your eyes, and I go rushing in to a world inside
Where theres none in between, and nothing can be denied
Struck down and stripped of pride,
That I could forgive you for once in our lives
But I failed, and I dont know why, Ill never know why
I failed and I dont know why

[diceasd]

i just came up with a word...

INSTRUMENSTRUATION

[MisterWareZ]

That sweeps are from hell! The solo is from Heaven ,and the band is from California. Nice collaboration :D .

[Wolowitz75]

i don't like his voice, instrumental, this band is sick

[Seraphblood]

I think my word applies too.... ARPEGGIORGASM

[Thatswhaticallavid]

DOLING OUT JUDGEMENT STRIKE WITH DIVINING ROD!

[LordofBays]

Ever since my mom deleted my copy of Nocturne, and in the past week when I've gotten on a huge THA kick, I've listened to this... Four times now? Dat solo.

[JustinKwapich]

@EternallyFalse To defend you, yeah it changes from 4/4 to a very quick 3/4. Maybe Some would consider it 6/8ths... I dunno. Anyway, I also don't think time signature changes are 100% necessary in progressive music. Progressive means to advance, so I think progressive music can be any music that has a change in time sigs, changes in key, variations on previous parts of the song, or really anything that builds off what it already has to create a new aspect to the song... Just my two cents =]

[galanoth619]

seriously i heard tons of solos and i think this one is the best ive ever heard

[Inolover013]

My head instantly imploded the second I heard those sweeps.

[JakeAmack]

I got Carpel Tunnell Syndrome just thinking about playing those sweeps... :O

[EternallyFalse]

@muskegorunner i thought the time signatures changed during the last part of the song including the solos
