Guster - Grin Lyrics

Absent in the things I've done
For the real
Revelations come to people so slow
Frightening
Won't stop now before they're done
Peel their skin
Eaten underneath
Rotten
Rotten
Drowning in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
Watching all the things they've done
This is real
When revolution comes from misguided hands
Frightening
And in all the idiots I see
Thoughtless men casting doubts on me
Enlightening
Downing in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
They'll turn the vice once
And slowly break your hand
Will it come back to you now
Just like it never left?
(Chorus in forefront, lyrics below as backup)
Peel away their faith, their fears, have led them towards the worse one
See the way their minds have glazed they're looking for the worst one
But I have found it

Absent in the things I've done
For the real
Revelations come to people so slow
Frightening
Won't stop now before they're done
Peel their skin
Eaten underneath
Rotten
Rotten
Drowning in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
Watching all the things they've done
This is real
When revolution comes from misguided hands
Frightening
And in all the idiots I see
Thoughtless men casting doubts on me
Enlightening
Downing in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
They'll turn the vice once
And slowly break your hand
Will it come back to you now
Just like it never left?
(Chorus in forefront, lyrics below as backup)
Peel away their faith, their fears, have led them towards the worse one
See the way their minds have glazed they're looking for the worst one
But I have found it
