Better Over There

https://releases.redcaesarscenario.com/downloads/epicycles-ep/ You contradict yourself Every day Pay no attention To yesterday Erase the past Rewrite the play You smile, insist Then turn away Each line rehearsed To sound okay You shade your words Distort the facts Turn truth to wax and let it melt Bait and switch With charm intact You make deceit look like self‑help You say "Let's move on" Clothe yourself in grace Say what you must because You lie to save face You shade your words Distort the facts Twist the truth into new shapes Bait and switch with a quick bon mot Your sarcasm is like rape Cause and effect, you rearrange Rewrite the past to fit the page A sleight of word, disguise of grace Smoke and mirrors fill the stage You perfume guilt with clever words Your logic sweet as smoke You quote yourself like sacred text And laugh before the joke Like a drunk who lost his keys You move the light's shine anywhere Anywhere but where it sees Because the light makes you look better over there Keep talking Silence breaks the spell Keep moving Stillness tells too well
