Slander [a song]

There's not enough hours in the day
To make up for what I've done
Still I'm wonderin'
If what I'm missin
Is there on the tip of my tongue

I wore black to the wedding
Of Desperate Measures
Only to catch your attention
And red to the funeral
For Love in Disguise
For lack of an Honorable Mention

Slander my name
If it makes you feel better
Just cut me down
If it makes you feel higher
Don't be afraid of making me smaller
It's a beautiful release

There's a spider in the portal
Writing letters in the clouds
And he's dancing 
On curtains of rain
This vision is glaring
With eyes of destruction
Easy to lay on the blame

Slander my name
If it makes you feel better
Just cut me down
If it makes you feel higher
Don't be afraid of making me smaller
It's a beautiful release

Twist the point deeper inside
Maybe I'll feel it this time

I'm crawling out of my skin
To find the human within
You already know I can't bleed
So take aim
No shame
And lay another on me

Slander my name
If it makes you feel better
Just cut me down
If it makes you feel higher
Don't be afraid of making me smaller
It's a beautiful release

It's a beautiful release
You only make me free
