Back in Town - The Dares

Back in town for one more day

There’s something I would like to say before

You go back making your rounds

Principled but not so great

This feast of truths you elevate

Is more like scraps tossed to the hounds

What you call ‘elation' is more of a contagion of the soul

That your fears are spreading around

I’ll eat my words

We’ll make this hurt and it will

If ever you come around

If ever you come around

If ever you come around

You’re all mixed up and all for nothing

Back in town for one more day

There’s something I would like to say

Before we’re all casting our doubts

Grace was never zero-sum

You made your case ad nauseam

The crowds are choking it down

What you call ‘elation'

Is more of a temptation that we’d all do better without

I’ll eat my words

We’ll make this hurt and it will

If ever you come around

If ever you come around

If ever you come around

You’re all mixed up and all for nothing
