98 Mute – Slander

Maybe I shouldn�t have said it Of course

I was too quick to judge

Words swiftly spoken may be unrefined

I didn�t know optimism was a crime

Hey I have got enough problems

Don�t need extra baggage from you Pointless games and taxing headtrips Unfortunate side effects of your friendship

I may have slipped won�t happen again my legs are beneath me now

For the last time cut down from behind

I will be ready next time

It�s no big deal

I�ve gotten used to being let down

I just didn�t think that

I would ever be let down by you

Your antics are always expected

Passed off as being your nature

Get away with murder �cause you�re just being you

A modern day version of Shakespeare�s licensed fool

Not to say that I�m not guilty

Emotions get the best of me

Quick to fight a nasty habit

Can�t keep my cool if I never had it

I had so much faith in you �til I saw your true colors bleeding through

You�re a joke that I don�t get with a punchline

I�m trying hard to forget

I don�t want to carry the burden

Of holding this grudge any longer

What to do, do I made amends?

Or discard this joker from my deck of friends?

Slander you said it I heard it

But you know I never deserved it

So locked to you the world in my head I know I should have never let you in
