The Trout Memo
Risk and Redemption: The Depths Within 'The Trout Memo' Revelations
Lyrics
If they're splitting hairs, well count me in
If there's a detailed analysis or discussion, I want to be part of it
I don't like the odds, I need the risk
I prefer taking risks over playing it safe
When honest smiles couldn't save my skin
Even sincere smiles couldn't protect me
I talked with fears much worse than this
I've faced fears more severe than the current situation
My subtle plans will go unnoticed
My subtle plans go unnoticed by others
My matchstick hands can't put me off
My fragile hands can't discourage me
A brand new body with a written name
A new identity but still repeating past mistakes
Still share the same mistakes
Despite changes, I continue making the same errors
So now I dream of a ghost and a gun
I now dream of a haunting presence and a threat
When I go to sleep too drunk
When I sleep deeply under the influence
And shed off the damage in monotone
I remove the damage in a monotone manner that I inflicted on myself
That I did to myself
I am responsible for the harm I've caused
I'm invisible
I feel unnoticed or ignored, as if invisible
My dying friends can't drag me in
My dying friends can't involve me in their struggles
I don't like the thought, I need the risk
I prefer risks over contemplating negative thoughts
Off an uphill battle in a serpent's grip
Facing challenges, even if difficult, in a deceptive situation
You fucking snake
An expression of contempt or anger towards someone deceptive
Keep your skin
Preserve your deceptive nature; I don't want any part of it
I'm in the parking lot
I am currently in a parking lot
She's in the back of my car
Someone is in the back of my car
And our conscious gone
Our awareness or conscience is absent
Look what we've done
Reflecting on the consequences of our actions
