Affinity Lyrics by IMFM

The Child We Once Were

2017

[Verse 1]
So you say you have acquired an affinity for
The darker side of all that we've been given
And you need a way to make the world listen
To the words you have to say
And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing
Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure
And you can't slow down for it's far too uncomfortable
To stray too far from practical reality

[Verse 2]
So you say you have acquired an affinity for
The darker side of all that we've been given
And you need a way to make the world listen
To the words you have to say
And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing
Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure
And you can't slow down for it's far too uncomfortablе
To stray too far from practical reality

[Bridge]
Inhibit judgement holy onе, let him do what he will
To he his way is just as true as your way is to you
No king of world nor self is he who has not tamed the beast
That lures one to upset the crowd through unfounded belief
Respect for that which lies beyond one's current comprehension
Is that which will unlock the door to wisdom and affection
Inhibit judgment holy one, let him do what he will
To he, your way is as untrue as his way is to you
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

[Verse 3/Outro]
So you say you have acquired an affinity for
The darker side of all that we've been given
And you need a way to make the world listen
To the words you have to say
And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing
Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure
You need a way to make the world listen to the words you have to say
Why don't you listen to yourself?
