So Long Steven Long

You're the only one amused by your inconsequential views

You'd have to strike me so much harder to even leave a bruise

Silence all the bitter and the used

Their never-ending stream of abuse

Comes in the form of a critical exchange

When you say "How does it feel to be damned?"

We are defenders of the broken life we've chosen

And there's no one else to blame

We are defenders of loss, the only ones we cross

Dig down and find the strength today

You resent me like a bastard son

With some crooked aim to destroy

Transparent, as your hollow praise

We are defenders of the broken life we've chosen

And there's no one else to blame

We are defenders of loss, the only ones we cross

Dig down and find the strength today (2x)

And the Strength to say

"We are defenders of the broken life"

You're the only one amused by your inconsequential views

You'd have to strike me so much harder to even leave a bruise

We are defenders of the broken life we've chosen

And there's no one else to blame

We are defenders of loss, the only ones we cross

Dig down and find the strength today (2x)

Bury all of your envy away

Damned are the souls of those who shame what I have made
