[Verse 1]
Too fed up to 'fess up
You lie to get results
A trust in true conviction
Tracking victims for printed fiction

[Verse 2]
Distressed, I'm projecting
Designed to show results
A devil on both shoulders
Getting even for getting older

[Chorus]
In one ear
While deaf against the other
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
Against the effort

[Verse 3]
I threw my hands up
I live to get results
A drug induced new abuse
Not used to not calling
So we're stalling
[Chorus]
In one ear
While deaf against the other
Loud and clear
Loud and clear

[Bridge]
Well, surely the person who let us down
Wouldn't soak up the credit to cash us out

[Pre-Chorus]
Patience pays to wait
We're the ones who wait for no one
Careful not to break
We're the ones
We're the ones
Patience pays to wait
In gestures far too minor, made too late
Gestures far too minor, made too late
Gestures far too minor, made too late

[Chorus]
Your ear
Now deaf against the other
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
[Outro]
Well, surely the person who let us down
Wouldn't soak up the credit to cash us out
