Lyrics

Spliced. 2025 Doug Millaway

Years of therapy, no real effect
The residue of discord still collects
Spoken words designed to wound
Hopes and dreams erased too soon

Why do some insist on hating so much?
They only thrive in misery’s clutch
Their world feels better when they steal from yours
Gathering twigs, building bitter wars

Two frayed minds spliced together
The sum is less than one
Addicted to the thrill of fortune
Place the pill upon your tongue

Searching for answers to finally see
It's more than just morality
A blatant theft in broad daylight
Leads to pleasant emptiness tonight

Hopes and dreams — deleted, gone
The rope of life split all along
Tried to weave it back anew
But the braid snapped straight through

Two frayed minds spliced together
The sum is less than one
Addicted to the thrill of fortune
Place the pill upon your tongue
Place the pill upon your tongue
