Letters Lyrics

It shouldn't have to be a sacrifice to gather our blood

Or take the alphabet to get a refined point through the mud

It shouldn't take a noticed absence to dwell on the undone

Or realize all the sins that fathers have inflicted on sons

That's the most expensive smile I've ever seen

And if you ever have incurred it you would know what I mean

I know that you live by substitute standards I liken to contradicting

That is your own choice but just don't bring it down on my family

Anything you can do take control of the situation

Is explored behind the scars of your imagination

Ironically there's diamonds forming inside my throat

From all this pressure that is stress heard clear and sharp as an alto

That's the most expensive smile I've ever seen

And if you ever have incurred it you would know what I mean

I know that you live by substitute standards I liken to contradicting

That is your own choice but just don't bring it down on my family

It ain't like I haven't tried

It ain't like I haven't tried

It ain't like we haven't tried

It ain't like we haven't tried

It is like they haven't tried

It is like they haven't tried

It is like you haven't tried

It is like you haven't tried

That's the most expensive smile I've ever seen

And if you ever have incurred it you would know what I mean

I know that you live by substitute standards I liken to contradicting

That is your own choice but just don't bring it down on me

Or my family

My family
