The Dismal Tide - Stand to Know Lyrics

Welcome to the party
Let me pour yourself a drink
And you can talk and talk and talk about
How no one's listening
Cause I've been standing at this counter
Like I'm paying for a crime
But tell the boss's boss's boss
That I'm done selling him my time
And I'll never understand
Why you looked so sad
When you got just what you wanted
No I'll never understand
Why ever getting what you want
Can only leave you scrubbing blood
Off of your hands
So sit down at the table
Where the silver's polished bright
And you can show off all your money
While campaigning for your plight
It isn't new it isn't novel
You weren't practicing a prayer
You're only breaking things that worked
Because your wheels just couldn't take you there
And just don't stand to know
Why you screamed for me to leave
Before you begged me not to go and no I
Just don't stand to know
Why ever following your heart
Can only leave you cutting parts out of your soul
And I'll never understand
Why you looked so sad
When you said just what you meant
And I'll never understand
Why ever getting what you want
Can only leave you scrubbing blood off of your hands
