Harmacy LP, Sub Pop Records / 1996

Never did and never will,
It's just the way it's always been.
I've made mistakes before,
I'll make the same again.
And all this tension we ignore
Surely works, it's ugly way inside.

I have known that nothing's fair,
Surely what did I expect?
When magic slips into the air
And every day's another test.
And all this tension we ignore
It surely works it's ugly way outside.

So let it build, let it explode,
Leaving blood and shattered bone.
Or bite your tongue
'til you've forgotten what to say.
And take another step back,
Until you find you've walked away.

Silence like disease,
But I dare not say it hurts
'Cause if I honestly react,
Nothing's ever gonna work.
And all this tension back and forth
It's just the beauty of the ride.

So let it build, let it explode,
Leaving blood and shattered bone.
Or bite your tongue
'til you've forgotten what to say.
And take another step back,
Until you find you've walked away.
