Lyrics Bitterness - Mark Eitzel

Bitterness

Now you read through the lives of the saints
And you said if I was a saint, I’d have a bigger beggar’s bowl
But now all you read is a list of complaints
Bitterness poisons the soul
You’re a student of archaeology
And you take comfort in cities that fall
When you smashes your place up
You thought you were making history
Bitterness poisons the soul
You took your name apart and then you put it back
As someone you never wanted to know
Now you’re just as helpless as those you attack
Bitterness poisons the soul
I don’t know if I will ever love again
You like to wear expensive designer shades
You’re so cool you turn spring into fall
But you find as the world darkens, it’s you that fades
Bitterness poisons the soul
You dig through your closets for old truths
You used to wear like an actor who forgot his role
Like a coward jonesing for the next big scare
Bitterness poisons the soul
I don’t know if I will ever love again
