The Pattern

from Upswing EP by Syd Sidney

/

lyrics

you tell yourself you’re ruthless
cold hard steel on the edge of a knife
but scratch below the surface
cut right down and you will surely find
a deep seeded repitition, with painful precision
a pattern you’ve played out before

things’ll never change when you’re built like this
so find the prettiest mistake and give her a kiss

this is the pattern repeat it repeat it
this is the damage conceal it conceal
line it up exactly like you lined it up before
end up where this all began and begin once more

so you think that I deserve this?
this crippled core, this blind foresight
I prefer to think I earned it
if I ever think at all these days I find
it’s desire, that idiot fire, that burns any reason to a hot white light

things may never change since I’m built like this
so I find the prettiest mistake and give her a kiss
