Contagion of Persuasion

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I woke up in a hotel by the shore

The mirror told me things I never said

Somebody's selling answers door to door

And I bought a pamphlet full of empty bread

Pre-Chorus

They promised me a kingdom

They handed me a form

They told me sign the bottom

And wait out the storm

Chorus

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

Every rumor wears a crown

Every truth gets watered down

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

I don't know what's real no more

I just keep on keeping score

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

La-la-la-la

Oh-oh

Verse 2

The wasp inside my ribcage hums a hymn

She stings the little doubts until they sleep

I let her crawl beneath my fragile skin

And now the buzzing keeps me from the deep

Pre-Chorus

They told me pick a side now

They told me it was fate

They said the rest is lying

And I should not be late

Chorus

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

Every rumor wears a crown

Every truth gets watered down

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

I don't know what's real no more

I just keep on keeping score

Bridge

Proclamation for the nation

Constipation of the mind

Whatever it takes formation

Leave the honest ones behind

Formation

Formation

Whatever it takes formation

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

Every rumor wears a crown

Every truth gets watered down

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

I don't know what's real no more

I just keep on keeping score

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

La-la-la-la

Oh-oh

Chorus

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

Every rumor wears a crown

Every truth gets watered down

It's a silent narration

A contagion of persuasion

I don't know what's real no more

I just keep on keeping score
