Wild Accusations - Convenient Way Lyrics

I never thought that this would
End in tears
Sure enough it still hasn't for me
I dreamt of a neighborhood, where
All our fears
Were part of the scenery
Our catalog of minor sins
Right or wrong
Just isn't fun anymore
Excuses and might-have-beens
Up and gone
And we're not what we were before

Everything becomes so clear
When seen in the abstract
You're just a convenient way
To avoid inconvenient facts

Crashing through the ceiling
Well I tried
To keep us both in the air
See the paint is peeling
Where we lied
About answering every prayer
We were made to suffer
Silently
Which explains so much about us
If you say I'm rougher, that
Works for me
I had to learn to be more callous

It would be so easy
To just sit back and relax, but
You're just a convenient way
To avoid inconvenient facts
Avoid inconvenient facts
You're a convenient way

And I'm not going back again
It was always just a matter of when
I'd finally realized how wrong we've been
And I need to live for now and not then

I never thought that this would
End in tears
Sure enough it still hasn't for me
I dreamt of a neighborhood, where
All our fears
Were part of the scenery
Our catalog of minor sins
Right or wrong
Just isn't fun anymore
Excuses and might-have-beens
Up and gone
And we're not what we were before

Everything becomes so clear
When seen in the abstract, but
You're just a convenient way
To avoid inconvenient facts
Avoid inconvenient facts
You're a convenient way
