Do as I say, not as I do,
Words and deeds converge in untruth
Condition a mind that's malleable
Force another to live your confusion

A blank page to be written on
Nobody asked you to write this story
Wrestle the pen from the confident hand
Maliciously editing another life

(Chorus)
Preaching to the deaf,
Wasting your wretched breath
Preaching to the deaf
Nobody can lend you an ear

Never asked you for your advice
Why don't you see your own life
Cannot pretend that everything's right
Unlike you, I don't need this plight

Do you sense you're blind
Choosing ignorance is your crime
Shield your fragile self from consequence
Of choosing to live as if in a trance
