Balance Lost
featuring guest vocals by chewmeupspitmeout

Lyrics:
We can bang loudly on the floorboards
There's nobody downstairs
They got tired of our antics
Feral romantics

You're asking questions you
Don't want the answers to
So let's pretend
It never happened

Every time you insult me as you're leaving
I have no more patience with
The nonsense that you believe in
I'm convinced there must be another way
Than bile and recriminations
Before I walk away

I'm in my own world
And you build a wall of self-help
Pages and pages
But nothing changes

I make lasagna, you do the ironing
Push one to many buttons
Why can't we do it in reverse
Save the worst for first

All the while You deconstruct my character
Flaws that soon reveal me
As conceited and contrived
But I might see the twinkle in your eye
Shows me something that you're hiding
That just might make it alright

-- middle --

Every time you insult me as you're leaving
I have no more patience with
The nonsense that you believe in
I'm convinced there must be another way
Than bile and recriminations
Before I walk away
All the while You deconstruct my character
Flaws that soon reveal me
As conceited and contrived
But I might see the twinkle in your eye
Shows me something that you're hiding
That just might make it alright

love the arpeggios. That intro is killer. And the part in between the verses is great too. Vocals sound good, i find this lyrical topic interesting - it’s on the face a bad relationship, but the narrator can still see the good in it? At first i was a little put off by the cadence, but it grew on me throughout the song. Ending is excellent.
